Dr. Fatourachi attended the University of Missouri in Kansas City and received her Bachelor of Arts in Biology. She completed post-graduate work at the same university and graduated with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1999. After completing her training in advanced Pediatric Dentistry in 2001 at Boston University, Dr. Fatourachi moved to California where she has been practicing Pediatric Dentistry in the North County area for the last 20 years.
She is a Diplomat of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry as well as a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association and California Society of Pediatric Dentistry. She promotes early visits and prevention as the foundation for a lifetime of good oral health. Many of us didn 't grow up having positive experiences going to the dentist. Some people even reach their adult life dreading 'that' visit. In many cases it all started when they were kids. Not having an empathetic, patient Dentist can really affect their attitude toward their overall oral health later in life. That is why it is so important that Dr. Houri makes a child 's first experience and every visit after at our dental office a positive one.
Dr. Houri is well known in her community for her caring approach and serenity with her patients, helping them to feel at ease and lowering the level of anxiety some patients come in with. Dr. Houri is a mother of two beautiful young daughters and currently resides in Carlsbad. She enjoys spending time with her wonderful family and friends. Dr. Houri frequently speaks to local schools about oral health and supports numerous schools and community activities, and has sponsored our local children's sports teams.
Miss. Chloe is our office manager and also a dental assistant. Miss Chloe has been a dental assistant since 2014 and has been with our office since 2016. Miss Chloe helps with both front and back-office duties so you'll see her around the office helping in any way she can! She enjoys working with kids and loves to see all the smiles after they get a prize! In her free time, she enjoys hanging out with her dog and reading a good book.
Danielle is our Registered Dental Assistant and also in charge of our insurance and front office. She will help your child through your cleaning making sure it is a pleasant experience from beginning to end. In her free time she enjoys relaxing with her children, watching movies and decorating .
'Mrs. Catherine has been in the dental field for over 20 years. You will be seeing Mrs. Catherine in the back office keeping your children 's smiles bright and clean! She was born and raised in LA but has been an SD country resident for 10 years. She is a mother of two boys, one in college and one at Vista High School! Mrs. Catherine in her spare time loves to spend time with her husband and dogs at home!'
We center your childs visit around delivering a rewarding dental experience that encourages a return visit and a lifetime of love (okay, like!) for trips to the dentist. I pride myself on offering the warmth, honesty and high-quality service Id like to see bestowed upon my own children each time they seek preventive care. Visiting the dentist doesnt have to be a traumatic, anxiety-filled experience for the child or the parent. In fact it shouldnt be! Im deliberate in my approach to dentistry and provide my patients with choice and flexibility when it comes to solutions. The payoff I enjoy is not from an open checkbook but instead from knowing were doing the right, healthy thing for our children and their dental care.
When choosing someone to look after your childs dental health, we know you want someone who specializes in the needs of children. Dr. Houri, our pediatric dentist in vista is the best person, she cares about each individual child and their specific needs. Your childs precious teeth will need looking after for a lifetime, so starting off with a happy, comfortable experience develops the habit in your child of lifelong healthy visits.
Im constantly researching best-in-class, sound offerings to support my determination of providing non-invasive dental treatments. One of my favorite solutions for preventing cavity decay and saving a baby tooth is Silver Diamine Flouride (SDF). The wonderful thing about this application is that it requires no drilling and filling. We simply brush on the antibiotic liquid, and it starts to fight tooth decay quickly and painlessly. This liquid is transforming dentistry by helping curb fears associated with cavities and dental mishaps and alleviating the financial burden of dental procedures.
The idea of simply painting a tooth elicits enormous smiles from kids and adults alike! The application buys time while your child grows up and either can tolerate a dental treatment better or in most cases naturally replaces the tooth with a permanent one. SDF is a safe option and a tremendous tool in my pediatric toolkit that helps us all avoid the drama of shots, drills and tears!

I took my almost 2 year old and almost 4 year old daughters in for regular check ups. It was my 2 year olds first time at the dentist, and she did so well thanks to the wonderful staff at All Smiles. They took time & care with both of my girls to make them as comfortable as possible and gave them a really positive experience visiting the dentist!

The place is clean and set for children. The dr and the rest of the staff are super nice and patient with little ones. We visited All Smiles Children's Dentistry again for a six month check up. Dr. Houri is excellent and her staff is great too, very patient and loving with the kids. I wouldn't take my children anywhere else.

My 3 year old has always gone to this dentist and loves it. Very nice, welcoming staff... all around. He loves to hop up on the chair lay down and watch cartoons on the TV overhead with headphones. Always in & out real quick!

Fantastic team! From Dr. Houri to Chloe at the front desk, they made my son the priority. They customize your child's care for his/her individual needs and are very efficient about implementing the care plan and appointments. They are patient, kind, and respectful. Most of all, they are very thoughtful about putting together the plan of care to meet the needs of your child. I fully trust them. They did an incredible job. Thank you!

I am truly awed and humbled by this team!! We are grateful for the safety procedures that are in place so that we are able to give our children the care they need and deserve for their health all while still providing a sense of fun, relatability and comfort for our kiddos. Thanks for "painting their teeth" with pics of disney princesses. We appreciate all that you do for our family and community!
