What age should my child first visit the dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child’s first dental visit by age one or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits help us monitor development and create positive, stress-free experiences from the start.

What makes Little Grins different from other pediatric dental offices?

Our office is completely designed around children — with themed rooms, TVs on the ceiling, sensory boards, a prize wall, and gentle, kid-focused care. We combine advanced technology with compassion to provide safe, fun, and comfortable visits for every child.

Do you accept dental insurance?

Yes! We accept most PPO insurance plans and help families verify benefits. We also file claims on your behalf to make the process simple and stress-free.

What if my child is anxious or afraid of the dentist?

We specialize in helping nervous or fearful children feel relaxed. Our team uses kid-friendly language, distraction techniques, and positive reinforcement. We also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and other sedation options for extra comfort.

Do you offer sedation dentistry?

Yes. For children who need additional support, we offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia, depending on your child’s needs and the procedure.

Are your X-rays safe for children?

Absolutely. We use low-radiation digital X-rays and a portable NOMAD system to keep radiation levels extremely low while still providing clear, accurate images.

What should I do if my child has a dental emergency?

Call us right away at (626) 788-3308. We offer same-day emergency appointments for issues such as chipped teeth, toothaches, knocked-out teeth, swelling, or pain.

Do you treat children with special healthcare needs?

Yes — our pediatric dentists have extensive training in caring for children with developmental, behavioral, and medical needs. We offer patient, individualized care in a calm, supportive environment.

What are BPA-free fillings, and why do you use them?

BPA-free fillings are tooth-colored, biocompatible materials that restore teeth safely and naturally. We use them because they blend beautifully with your child’s smile and avoid the health concerns associated with BPA.

How can I help my child prevent cavities at home?

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once per day, avoid frequent snacking and sugary drinks, and maintain regular checkups every six months. We also recommend dental sealants and fluoride treatments to provide extra protection.

Gentle and Natural-Looking Restorative Dentistry for Kids in Glendora, CA

Even with great brushing and regular checkups, cavities or tooth damage can still happen — and that’s okay! At Little Grins Pediatric Dentistry, we make restoring your child’s smile simple, comfortable, and stress-free.

Our experienced pediatric dental team in Glendora, CA provides gentle, minimally invasive restorative dentistry designed specifically for children. From tiny fillings to crowns, we use kid-friendly techniques and modern materials to repair teeth, preserve natural structure, and help your child smile with confidence again.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or developmental issues. For children, this means restoring function and appearance while maintaining a healthy foundation for adult teeth to develop properly.

Our goal at Little Grins Pediatric Dentistry is always to treat problems early — with gentle, conservative care that keeps your child’s comfort and long-term health in mind.

Our Restorative Dental Treatments

We offer a complete range of restorative services to meet every child’s needs:

Tooth-Colored Fillings: We use BPA-free, white composite fillings that blend naturally with your child’s teeth — no silver, no metal, and no worries. These fillings are durable, safe, and perfect for repairing small cavities while maintaining a natural look.

White Crowns: When a tooth is more severely damaged or weakened, a pediatric white crown (also called a zirconia crown) provides strong, long-lasting protection with a natural appearance. Parents love that they’re metal-free and completely biocompatible.

BPA-Free Restorations: Our commitment to your child’s health means we only use BPA-free materials that are safe and effective for growing smiles.

Pulp Therapy (Baby Root Canal): When decay reaches deep inside a tooth, we can perform gentle pulp therapy to save the tooth and relieve discomfort — preserving your child’s natural smile until the adult tooth is ready to come in.

Tooth Repair for Chips or Breaks: Using tooth-colored bonding, we can quickly fix chips and fractures so your child’s smile looks and feels good as new.

Why Early Treatment Matters

Cavities in baby teeth may seem small, but leaving them untreated can lead to infection, pain, or issues with eating and speech. Baby teeth also hold space for permanent teeth, so keeping them healthy ensures proper alignment later on.

By addressing issues early with restorative dentistry, we help prevent complications, protect your child’s comfort, and build positive feelings about dental care.

Our Gentle, Kid-Friendly Approach

We know that restorative treatments can sound intimidating for children, so we’ve created a calm, reassuring experience that helps ease nerves and build trust.

Comfort Comes First: With ceiling TVs, comfort blankets, and sedation options like nitrous oxide, we keep visits relaxed and positive.

Pediatric Expertise: Our doctors specialize in working with children, ensuring procedures are efficient, gentle, and fear-free.

Technology-Driven Care: Using digital X-rays and laser tools, we diagnose and treat problems with precision while minimizing discomfort.

Every treatment is performed with your child’s emotional comfort in mind — because we believe a healthy smile starts with a happy experience.
