Preventive pediatric dental care at Westside Pediatric Dental and Orthodontic Group in Santa Monica is built around your child’s individual needs. Dr. Michael Kleinman, a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, emphasizes prevention and thoughtful treatment planning. Call 310-362-6529 to arrange a visit with our team.
Prevention That Fits Your Child
Our goal is to help children build healthy habits and avoid restorative treatment whenever possible. Recommendations depend on each child’s teeth, dental history, and individual needs.
- Cleanings and exams: Regular visits give our team an opportunity to assess oral health and discuss home care.
- Sealants: Ask whether protective dental sealants are appropriate for your child’s teeth.
- Home-care guidance: We discuss brushing, flossing, and everyday habits with children and their parents.
- Individual decisions about X-rays: Each recommended image is considered thoughtfully as part of your child’s care.
