Pediatric Dentistry in Chino, CA
Choi & Lee Family Dentistry combines timeless elegance with the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional dental care
What is Pediatric Dentistry
Pediatric dentistry focuses on the unique dental needs of infants, children, and teens. Kids’ mouths grow and change quickly, so having a dentist trained in children’s care ensures healthy development at every stage. From the eruption of the first baby tooth to the transition into permanent teeth, pediatric dental care helps prevent cavities, monitor growth, and build strong oral hygiene habits.
At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we create a welcoming environment where children feel safe and comfortable. Our team understands that dental visits can sometimes feel intimidating, which is why we use gentle techniques and a friendly approach to make each visit positive. Pediatric dentistry is more than treating teeth—it’s about guiding children toward a lifetime of confident, healthy smiles.

How to Prepare for Pediatric Dentistry
Preparing your child for a dental visit can make the experience smoother. Talk to them about the dentist in simple, positive terms and explain that the dentist helps keep their teeth strong and shiny. Avoid using words like “hurt” or “pain,” and instead focus on the fun parts, such as sitting in the big chair or getting a new toothbrush.
Before the appointment, make sure your child brushes their teeth and eats a light meal so they are comfortable during the visit. Bring along any comfort items, like a favorite toy, to help them feel secure. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry, we’ll walk you and your child through each step so you know what to expect, making dental care a stress-free experience for the whole family.
Recovery and Aftercare for Pediatric Dentistry
Most pediatric dental visits are preventative and require little to no recovery. However, if your child receives treatments like fluoride applications, sealants, or fillings, a few simple steps help ensure comfort and effectiveness:
-
Remind your child to avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes after fluoride treatment.
-
If they received fillings, encourage them to chew gently on the opposite side until numbness wears off.
-
Help them brush and floss at home, teaching proper technique for long-term oral health.
-
Schedule follow-up visits as recommended so we can track growth and address changes early.
The Long-Term Value
Choosing pediatric dentistry is one of the most important steps you can take to support your child’s oral health and overall well-being. While early dental visits may seem simple, they provide long-term benefits that can help prevent costly and complex treatments later. Routine exams and cleanings reduce the risk of cavities, infections, and developmental issues before they become serious concerns. By guiding proper oral development and reinforcing healthy habits early, pediatric care helps minimize the need for treatments like fillings, orthodontics, or extractions in the future.
Beyond the clinical advantages, there is valuable peace of mind knowing your child’s smile is being monitored by professionals trained to meet their unique needs. Many dental insurance plans include coverage for pediatric services, and our team will help you make the most of your benefits. At Choi and Lee Family Dentistry, we are dedicated to supporting healthy smiles through compassionate, preventive pediatric care.

Building Healthy Habits
Each visit ends with positive reinforcement and a plan for continued success at home. We'll schedule regular checkups to monitor your child's progress and catch any issues early.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about this treatment
When should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling the first dental visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Early visits allow the dentist to check development and give parents tips on caring for baby teeth.
How often should children see the dentist?
Most children should visit the dentist every six months for checkups and cleanings. More frequent visits may be recommended if your child is prone to cavities or has orthodontic needs.
What if my child is scared of the dentist?
It’s normal for kids to feel nervous. At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry, we use gentle explanations, child-friendly language, and a welcoming environment to make visits fun and positive. Parents can also help by speaking positively about dental care at home.
Are baby teeth really that important?
Yes. Baby teeth help children chew, speak, and hold space for permanent teeth. Protecting them prevents pain, infection, and potential alignment issues as your child grows.
Does pediatric dentistry include preventive treatments?
Absolutely. Pediatric dental care often includes fluoride treatments, sealants, and cleanings, which reduce the risk of cavities and help protect young smiles as they develop.
