SCROLL

"Your Enamel Is Stronger Than Bone 🦷 Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, even stronger than bone, built to survive years of biting and chewing. ✨ The catch? Unlike bone, it can't regenerate once it's worn down, so any damage that happens is permanent. That's why we spend so much time on prevention at every checkup, catching enamel wear early and helping kids build habits that protect it for life. Isn't that amazing? 💙 Contact our office to schedule a checkup 📞

Here's a sweet surprise for new parents: baby's first dental visit can happen before a full smile even shows up! 🍼🦷
The recommended time? Age ONE, or within six months of that first tooth peeking through. It's not about looking for problems, it's about setting your baby up so those problems never get the chance to start.
One early visit means we can catch feeding habits early, spot little things months ahead of time, and help your baby feel right at home in the dental chair from the very beginning 😌
Your baby should see a dentist before their first tooth even fully comes in.  When did your little one have their first visit? We'd love to hear! 💬
Ready to get started? Contact our office to book baby's first visit 📞

Every sip of juice begins a cycle that affects enamel 🍊
After sugar is consumed, bacteria create acids that temporarily soften the surface of the teeth. This process can last around 20 to 30 minutes.
When sipping happens throughout the day, that cycle continues repeatedly, giving teeth less time to recover 💧
Spacing drinks and choosing water in between helps the mouth return to balance.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on small daily habits that support long term oral health ✨
We’re here to help you build simple routines that protect your child’s smile

Great care begins with great collaboration. 🤝✨

We were honored to welcome an inspiring group of pediatric colleagues to Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics for our first Pediatricians Evening—an evening dedicated to strengthening the partnership between pediatric medicine and pediatric dentistry.

As the CSPD Liaison to AAP Chapter 2, our founder, Dr. Reem, is incredibly passionate about fostering these meaningful connections. Together, we shared ideas, toured our office, and explored opportunities for future collaboration—including the possibility of a webinar or podcast-style Q&A to continue these conversations for the benefit of the children and families we serve.

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful guests and team:

Dr. Alexander Alcaraz (Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC)
@ostrowusc

Dr. Blake Alban (UCLA Health)
@UCLAHealth

Dr. Noël Salyer, Dr. Karina Eastman, and Dr. Lily Marouf (Pacific Ocean Pediatrics)

Our fantastic team members, Sejal Thapa and Jocelyn Papaqui

Dr. Reem’s daughter, Isabel, who proudly welcomed our guests and gave tours of Smiles with so much warmth and enthusiasm!

A special thank you to Dr. Reem’s AAP Chapter 2 counterpart, Dr. Thomas Torices, for your encouragement and support of this collaboration. Although you couldn’t join us in person, your message beautifully reflected the spirit of the evening. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

This is just the beginning. Here’s to building stronger relationships, sharing knowledge across disciplines, and working together to help every child thrive. 🦷🚀

Teeth form in layers over time 🦷🌿
As teeth develop, they build layer by layer, similar to growth rings.
These layers can reflect stages of development and give insight into how teeth formed. Changes in tooth development can affect the final formation of the tooth in either shape or hardness, something we would like to address as early as a tooth begins erupting into the mouth. 
This is one of the reasons dental checkups are so important during childhood.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on early detection and gentle guidance to support healthy development ✨

Saliva does more than keep the mouth comfortable 💧🦷
It contains calcium and phosphate, natural minerals that help repair and strengthen early areas of enamel before damage progresses.
This process, called remineralization, supports the teeth throughout the day in a quiet and continuous way.
When the mouth has time to rest between eating, saliva can work more effectively to restore balance.
Simple habits like staying well hydrated and allowing breaks between snacks can support this natural protection.
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on supporting the body’s natural ability to care for and protect your child’s smile ✨
Our team is here to guide you with thoughtful care that feels calm, supportive, and clear

Molars are where cavities most often begin 🦷🍬
Molars have deep grooves and pits designed to help grind food.
But those same grooves can trap food particles and bacteria, making them harder to clean.
Even with brushing, those tiny grooves can hold onto plaque longer than smoother surfaces.
That’s why molars are more cavity-prone, especially in children.
Dental sealants help protect these areas by sealing the grooves and blocking bacteria from settling in ✨
At Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we focus on protecting these high-risk areas early 🌿
