<\/a>Every smile is important, even a smile that\u2019s still developing. That\u2019s why Dr. Latner<\/a> and his team<\/a> at Westside Dental Associates<\/a> in Los Angeles<\/strong> offer pediatric dentistry<\/a>. Through our commitment to serving children as well as adults\u2014and Dr. Latner\u2019s<\/strong> commitment to teaching pediatric dentistry<\/strong> as UCLA\u2014we\u2019re helping patients of all ages enjoy better oral and overall health.\r\n\r\nAs is the case with caring for adults, the most important aspect of pediatric dentistry<\/strong> is the regular checkup. During a regular checkup, Dr. Latner<\/strong> can look for signs of tooth decay or gum disease, common dental conditions that have serious implications for overall wellbeing. What\u2019s more, a pediatric checkup also gives Dr. Latner<\/strong> the opportunity to check on the development of teeth.\r\n\r\nOur team also likes to take part of every pediatric dentistry<\/strong> visit to talk to our young patients about brushing and flossing. Effective brushing and flossing take practice and instruction. We can offer some of that in our Los Angeles<\/strong> office, but it\u2019s up to parents to also provide instruction at home.\r\n\r\nIs your little one nearing their first birthday? Then it\u2019s time to start planning for their very first visit. Call<\/a> Westside Dental Associates<\/strong> to schedule your child\u2019s first (or second, or third\u2026) visit. We want to see all of our young Los Angeles<\/strong>-area patients grow healthy smiles. Our team can work together with you to help them develop the healthy habits that will make that possible as they move from childhood into adolescence and adulthood.\r\n\r\nCall us today!<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every smile is important, even a smile that\u2019s still developing.
