Dr. Aaron was born and raised in Southern California, and he decided to stay local by attending University of Southern California for his undergraduate studies. He always wanted to pursue a career in healthcare, hoping to help and improve the lives of others. Dentistry provided the perfect balance of art, science, and patient care that he loves, leading him to pursue his doctorate in dental surgery at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. Throughout dental school, Dr. Aaron noticed many of his patients neglected their oral health due to negative dental experiences as kids. It was easy to see the importance of creating a positive dental environment for people to develop a lifelong devotion to their oral health. He was inspired to specialize in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Southern California and Childrens Hospital of Orange County.

Dr. Aaron strives to create an enjoyable and educational experience for the children and their families. Being able to build trust and relationships between his patients is one of the most rewarding aspects, and he hopes to make a difference in their lives. Thank you for entrusting your little ones under our care.

Dr. Crystal was born and raised in Los Angeles. She did not have good experiences as a child at the dentist so she recognized the need for friendly and relatable dentists. To fulfill her goal, she applied and was accepted into the highly competitive 6-year undergraduate-dental program at the University of the Pacific. There, she received Bachelors in Science in Biology degree and her Doctorate in Dental Surgery (D.D.S). Subsequently, she was accepted into the prestigious UCLA Hospital Dentistry Residency Program, at the Ronald Reagan Hospital, where she met the dental needs of severely medically compromised adult patients.

Dr. Crystal has strived to be an approachable and empathetic dentist and is dedicated to enhancing her patients oral health. She enjoys meeting people and listening to their unique questions and concerns to promote confident smiles.

Childrens teeth begin forming before birth. As early as 4 months, the first primary (or baby) teeth to erupt through the gums are the lower central incisors, followed closely by the upper central incisors. Although all 20 primary teeth usually appear by age 3, the pace and order of their eruption varies.

Permanent teeth begin appearing around age 6, starting with the first molars and lower central incisors. At the age of 8, you can generally expect the bottom 4 primary teeth (lower central and lateral incisors) and the top 4 primary teeth (upper central and lateral incisors) to be gone and permanent teeth to have taken their place. There is about a one to two year break from ages 8-10 and then the rest of the permanent teeth will start to come in. This process continues until approximately age 21.
