Gentle Care of Precious Young Smiles

Penasquitos / Poway Office

At ABC Children’s Dentistry, our mission is to eliminate any anxiety that children may carry from past experience or playground rumors by introducing, creating, and delivering dental care in a gentle, non-threatening, child-friendly and fun environment.  We want them to have a happy and exciting experience so that they can’t wait to return for a regular check-up. We use state-of-the-art advanced dental equipment, technology, materials, and sterilization techniques following strict OSHA guidelines.  We care for our patients as individuals with individual needs.  We study each case and consider all developmental, behavioral, and esthetic factors before choosing the appropriate method of care and treatment.
