Most kids are afraid of the dentist even if dental practices such as ours have caring dentistry for kids. Helping your child get over dental phobia is important, and you can reduce unfavorable visits to our dentist in Studio City by preventing the leading cause of tooth aches in children—tooth decay.

Tooth decay happens when bacteria from food particles left in the teeth begin eating away at a tooth’s enamel.
