Pediatric Dentistry is the specialty of dentistry that focuses on the oral health and unique needs of young people. The very young, pre-teens and teenagers all need different approaches in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development and helping them avoid future dental problems. The pediatric dentist, who completes two to three additional years of rigorous training in addition to a four-year dental school curriculum, is best qualified to meet these needs.
Like pediatricians, our pediatric dentists specialize and limit their practice to children. Because of this, we are able to keep current on the latest diagnostic and treatment procedures for young people. We are experienced at communication, behavior modification and other techniques used to promote a positive attitude toward proper the establishment of trust and confidence that will last a lifetime. Just as the pediatrician monitors development from infancy, our pediatric dentists will evaluate your childs dental condition regularly to provide the highest level of prevention and treatment.
Children have completely different emotional and physical needs. Our pediatric dental practice and personnel can cater specifically to the emotional and physical state your child is in. Every single aspect of our pediatric dental office, from our special office design, dental chairs and instruments to our communication style, has been carefully implemented to ensure a pleasant experience for your child and family.
Establishing a pediatric dentist as their primary oral health care provider can also provide an opportunity to implement preventive dental health habits that keep a child free from dental or oral disease. The ideal time to gain knowledge and to have your questions answered is before your child has a dental problem.
At Fullerton Pediatric Dentistry, we are concerned about your childs total health care. Good oral health is an important part of total health. We focus on prevention, early detection and treatment of dental disease and keep current on the latest advances in dentistry for children. As soon as you walk in the front office of our practice, our team is committed to ensure your childs visit to the dentist is a positive and pleasant experience. We will do our best to make sure your child feels good about visiting the dentist and teach them how to care for their teeth. In fact, we treat our patients as if they were our own.
Our doctors believe in good, old-fashioned long lasting relationships with our families. They also simply enjoy meeting you and your child to build a comfortable, trusting relationship at a young age to help your child off to a healthy start towards beautiful simile. Our main concern is what is best for your child. We are all about kids!

All the doctors and staff are wonderful here. We Had an emergency situation with my daughter and Dr. Hong was able to squeeze her in right at the end of his day. We were in and out in less than an hour. He also text me the same night as soon as he had the results from an x ray read by the oral surgeon. What a great team!

I absolutely loved our experience! Everyone there is so nice!! They validated my parking if you park in the parking garage so I didn't have to pay anything! They gave my daughter stickers and a token to use at the machines for a ball which I thought was so sweet. They are literally the best!! Highly recommend this place! The dentist was so nice and made us feel comfortable until my daughter was just over it lol but my daughter let them clean her teeth for a good amount of time! Best experience I've ever had anywhere! I'm taking my son as well.

I took my teenage son for a teeth cleaning and x-rays. This was as our first time visiting Fullerton Pediatric Dentistry. The office is very clean. The receptionist was super nice and answered all my questions. Dr. Lee was great! He comes out to the lobby to ask questions about any thing he should be aware of and explains what he's going to do i.e., x-rays to check for cavities, clean teeth, and any other findings. After, he comes back out and explains what he's going to do after seeing the x-rays. When he's finished, he informs you of a treatment plan for your child. He's a great communicator, very professional and makes you feel welcome. I was amazed that the wait time was minimal and feel that this may be due to the way the receptionist organizes his patient's appointment. I definitely would recommend Fullerton Pediatric Dentistry to anyone who is looking for a great dentist.

We absolutely love Dr. Lee! He truly cares about his patients. As a new mom with a rambunctious child we've had a few dental emergencies and he always shows up with comforting problem solving skills to help reassure you the broken tooth will he fixed In no time. The office is immaculate, the recently had it renovated. The staff is friendly and they use automated text messaging for reminders and appointment confirmations.

We were recommended this dentist office after a bad experience elsewhere. They took this into account and were so kind, informative, and patient with us. It's a 1/2-45 minute drive I'll gladly make.
