4S Pediatric Dentistry - Pediatric dentist in San Diego, CA

Our practice philosophy is about treating every child as if they were our own and developing a lasting relationship not only with the patient, but also the parent. Whether were talking silly with a two-year-old or reviewing the proper techniques for brushing and flossing with an eighteen-year old before they head off to college, we focus our chairside manner on your child and getting to know them better at each visit.

With our focus centered on prevention at each visit, we teach patients our favorite secret tooth rules to keep a healthy and lasting smilewhat foods, drinks, and habits are integral to maintaining optimum oral health and overall health. With sealants, fluoride, and special toothpaste options, our first goal is to always prevent dental disease before it occurs.

However, if more extensive work is required, such as fillings, crowns, root canals, and extractions, we strive to provide the highest quality dental care possible. To help maintain healthy, esthetic smiles, we try to utilize tooth-colored restorations whenever possible.

We are also able to offer a variety of behavior management techniques to put your child at ease and have an enjoyable dental experience. Additionally, we screen patients of all ages for orthodontic care at each six month examination.Not only do we focus our attention on your child, but we also work hard to address parental concerns by explaining each childs unique dental situationwhy and what type of treatment has been planned, and what to expect moving forward. In all aspects, we hope that every patient and parent has a positive experience in our office. We believe that when the child, parent, and dentist actively participate in prevention, a child can stay cavity-free. We appreciate the trust you have placed in us and look forward to growing this relationship. We will do what is best for your child while planting the seeds for their healthy smile!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about 4s Pediatric Dentistry. From the staff at the front desk to the hygienists and the dentists, every visit we had for my kids has been a great experience! Everyone is so kind, supportive, and encouraging. They are wonderful at helping anxious kids calm down and get through their appointment feeling good and comfortable. Extremely patient with the kids. We are so happy we found them. I only wish I found4s Pediatric Dentistry sooner.

My 2.5 and 5 year old had such an amazing first dentist appointment here! I could not be happier. There was no fear at all. The hygienists were patient and kind with introducing the various tools to make sure my kids were comfortable with every stage of the cleaning and what was happening. The TVs built into the ceiling were playing movies which was an incredible way to distract my littles. Dr. Spencer Mauseth is a parent and clearly an expert when it comes to speaking to young kids and their parents to help us understand our kids needs (and wins - no cavities!). Happy to set up the follow up appointment here - genuinely felt my kids were well cared for in their office.

We had visited another dentist in the area and had an awful experience. Unfortunately, I was running short on time before deploying and needed to get my daughter in for a second opinion ASAP. Not only did 4S Pediatric Dentistry front desk staff (Natalie and Belinda) go the extra mile to make sure we got a coveted evening appointment from a last minute cancellation, but when we got in they already had our Xrays I sent over from the other dentist uploaded. They were AMAZING at providing tons of options for treatment. Dr. Spencer and his dental assistant were so friendly and took the time to get to know my daughter and spent time talking with me and educating me on possible causes of my daughter's dental issues. I felt so much more confident in the prescribed treatment plan and, better yet, the long term plan for preventing more cavities. As a parent of 5 kids, Dr. Spencer was able to relate to the struggle and I never felt floss-shamed . The best part is thaty daughter is actually excited to go back!!!

We have been using 4S for the last 2 years, and we couldn't be happier! Everyone is so kind and patient. I never feel pressured to do things that are unnecessary, which is so great. 10/10 recommend!

The male dentist we saw made a very off color joke about the pandemic to begin with, sat uncomfortably close to me during the appt, despite the office being large. The worst part was probably when the dentist lectured me in a condescending manner about why we needed to be there and asked me to come back "when I had more time to have the discussion" overall lacking compassion for young children, and a really uncomfortable experience.

The doctors and the staff really go above and beyond with making my kids feel safe and comfortable during their visit. When my daughter had to get cavities filled, Dr. Spencer and staff comforted her and made the visit fun and not scary. I highly recommend 4S Pediatric Dentistry!

I absolutely love Dr. Spencer and his staff! My son went in for his appointment and with the help of Aisha, he was able to overcome his fears of being in the dental chair. Both D. Spencer and the assistant gave my son praise for doing so good that he left with a big smile on his face. And he's looking forward to his next visit!

Staff is super friendly and service is excellent (prompt and thorough). They involve parents in all steps of the process by explaining products/options/benefits. They also respect parent's choices (never any pressure to do any dental procedure - they discuss benefits but don't push). Dr. Spencer is an upstanding professional in every way and makes kids feel special. The office is very clean and makes me feel confident having my kids there, especially during a pandemic. I would not go to any other pediatric dentistry office. This place is great.

We have 4 kids that go to this Office. Dr. Mauseth saw our youngest (4 yo) for his 1st visit to the dentist and it went amazing. The hygienist are always friendly and do a great job.

Our 12-year old son chipped several of his front permanent teeth. I had total peace of mind because I knew Dr Spencer would take care of everything. We connected with the office that day and they were able to fit us in the next day. Incredible experience. Thank you so much Dr Spencer and team!

We are new to the area and chose 4S Pediatric Dentistry for my 4 kids, ages 12, 9, 6, and 3. They are so wonderful and patient with kids and my kids were not scared at all. They are also very accommodating when scheduling multiple kids. Cassie, the hygienist, was wonderful and reassuring to my kids during their cleanings/fillings. Dr. Spencer has a wonderful, positive energy and is amazing with the kids and families. I highly recommend!!

We had the BEST first dentist experience for my 15 month old! My daughter does not like her mouth being touched, but the doctors did such a good job at easing her into everything! They showed her their tools, she got to sit in her "big girl chair", had a movie playing on the ceiling! They even let me sit in the chair with her during the very speedy but thorough cleaning!! (Also while singing my daughters favorite song Baby Shark!) We loved this dentist office from the moment we walked in the door and you'll leave feeling happy with a great goody bag and a balloon!! Everyone is so happy and friendly here. Best place to take your little ones!! You won't be sorry! :)

When I brought my son here for his first dental checkup, he was treated with kindness and care. The office staff, Taralynn, Dr. Spencer and his assistant Aisha all helped him have a very positive first time at the dentist. He even got to take home a balloon and a toy. Thank you 4S Pediatric Dentistry!

My daughter (2) was nervous about going to the dentist and both the hygienist Cassie as Dr. Spencer were so patient and allowed her time to get comfortable enough to show her teeth for an exam and even get her first fluoride treatment. When we left she said she had so much fun and loved her balloon she got. We will definitely be making this our regular kids dentist.
