About Children Dental World

Based on San Pedro Street in the South Los Angeles area of Los Angeles, California, Children Dental World is a dental practice serving the area. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Are dental X-rays safe for children?
Modern digital X-rays use a very low dose and are taken only when there is a clinical reason. They show decay between teeth and problems with developing adult teeth that cannot be seen by looking.
How do I stop my child getting cavities?
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, supervising until they have the dexterity to do it properly, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear during the day. Frequency of sugar matters more than the total amount.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

This is by far the worst experience ever the doctor was more concerned about him spending money on his products then to want his patients wanted and the owner was the one doing my procedure and he said some very unprofessional comments I had been coming here for a long time that once has this happened but today was just not it I would expect the owner to be more professional and concerned with what his patients wants but he’s totally the opposite! The only reason they have 4.9 stars is because they offer you a gift card to Starbucks to rate them 5 stars

Wow I love it here! Dr. James is amazing and beyond patient with kids! My son who is terrified of visiting the dentist was actually really good this time! He usually screams his lungs out & at our visit he did not shed a tear during the procedure. I am honestly impressed. Thanks Dr. James & his amazing team ❤️

Have been taking my kids here for a couple of years and they have given me great customer service. They especially have gone above and beyond to help my 8year old who struggles with anxiety at the Dentist. I truly cant help but praise them and recommend them. Thank you Children Dental World Crew.

Great Dentist. Staff are awesome and gentle with the children. I moved out of LA and still bring my children here due to the great treatment. My children have been coming here for the last 10 years. If you are looking for the right Dentist for your children this is the place.

This place is absolutely awesome. So gentle..so respectful and they also work on adults as well. I am afraid of Dentist by now I'm a little bit more comfortable with the dentist since coming here. They even let my kids and I leave our bikes inside. Awesome! They offer free transportation. And after the kids visit, they have lots of new toys for them to take home. Best dentist on this side of town so far. Thanks Children Dental. We appreciate you!
