We Make Dentistry a Walk in The Park
At our practice, we have designed the office and treatment rooms to make children feel at ease and safe. To ensure that children are entertained during their visit, we offer a variety of parent-approved TV channels. While the children are watching TV, we focus on providing the best dental care possible.We recommend treatments based on each child’s age, willingness to cooperate, and the level of treatment required. Our approach is always mindful of both the dental needs and behavioral aspects of each child. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Dabir and Dr. Cuisia have become trusted pediatric dentists. They are trained and licensed to offer sedation options, such as nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, for children who need extra help in relaxing during dental procedures.

Pediatric Dentistry
Our comprehensive pediatric dental care addresses all aspects of children's oral health from infancy through adolescence. We specialize in preventive care, early cavity detection, and developmental monitoring using child-friendly techniques. Our dentists employ positive reinforcement and age-appropriate explanations to create positive dental experiences while maintaining rigorous clinical standards.
Laser Dentistry
Advanced laser technology enables minimally invasive treatments without heat, vibration, or pressure. This approach reduces discomfort, eliminates need for numbing injections in many cases, and promotes faster healing. Our Fotona and SOLEA lasers treat cavities, perform frenectomies, and address soft tissue issues with precision while maintaining patient comfort.
HealthyStart System
This non-invasive system addresses sleep-disordered breathing and developmental issues through custom oral appliances. Worn during sleep, these devices naturally expand dental arches, improve airway function, and guide teeth into proper alignment without traditional braces. Early intervention prevents long-term behavioral and developmental complications from breathing disorders.
Frenectomy
Our laser frenectomy procedure corrects tongue and lip ties affecting breastfeeding, eating, and speech development. Using cold laser technology, we perform suture-free releases with minimal discomfort and rapid healing. This specialized treatment improves oral function while maintaining safety for infants and children.
Sedation Dentistry
We offer multiple sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation for anxious patients. Our dentists are licensed to provide general anesthesia at hospital facilities when required. These techniques ensure comfortable treatment experiences while maintaining strict safety protocols for pediatric patients.
Questions
What age should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends visits within 6 months of first tooth eruption. We treat patients from birth through adolescence.
Do you use needles for dental procedures?
Many treatments use our pain-free laser technology without numbing injections. When necessary, we employ techniques to minimize discomfort during anesthetic administration.
How do you handle anxious children?
Our child-friendly environment, positive reinforcement techniques, and sedation options help anxious patients feel comfortable. We customize approaches based on each child's developmental stage and needs.
What is the HealthyStart System?
This non-invasive treatment uses oral appliances to address sleep-disordered breathing and guide teeth into proper alignment without braces, improving both dental health and overall development.
Are your dentists specially trained for children?
Our board-certified pediatric dentists complete 2-3 years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing on child psychology, growth development, and advanced treatment techniques for young patients.

If I could give more stars I would. We just moved here and needed a dentist who had a special touch for our son. And wow I am blown away. From the minute you walk in the door you are welcomed. Then Taylor who cleaned and did my sons X-rays needs an award. Not only did she make him feel comfortable but she walked him through step by step on everything she did. Dr Dabir comes and is also great! At the end my son said this place is better than my last dentist!
That alone is saying alot! He loved his last dentist and now he loves Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! Especially Taylor who we will see from now on! Thank you Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! Taylor you are beyond amazing! You made my day! Thank you!

We found Carlsbad Children's Dentistry while searching for a dentist to see our son with special needs, and we are so glad we did! Staff are all super friendly and great with kids. They go above and beyond to help all children feel welcome and happy, even if that takes extra time. We drive 40 mins just to bring our kids here because we love it so much!

Best dentist office by far! Dr. Dabir and his staff were so welcoming and patient. As new parents to a 1 month old baby getting a procedure is very overwhelming and scary. Dr. Dabir took his time to fully explain the procedure and provided his number to reach him at anytime. I highly recommend this office, you will not be disappointed!

Great great dentist. My toddler loves coming here! Staff and doctor are very nice. The only thing I don't like is that after my daughter turns 4 they will transfer her to Mira Mesa. Which is like an hour from where I live.

My boys (2) absolutely LOVE Dr Dabir. If I could go to him, I would. He is funny, incredibly sweet, straight to the point, and makes procedures simple and painless. His staff is remarkable, they are efficient, educated, and makes teeth cleaning pleasurable! I highly recommend Dr Dabir! He has the newest procedures, explains everything, and does not leave information out.

We have always had a great experience so Im not sure what happened today. Our oral technician was great, very friendly, and well versed in her technique. After she finished, she said the dentist will be in shortly; unfortunately after waiting 35 minutes without being seen or informed of the delay, we chose to leave. It appeared that the dentist there was with one patient for that 35 minute period, poor time management. Dr Dabir was on his day off so perhaps his absence was the source of this issue.

Two words: toddler magicians! I cannot say enough positive words about everyone in the office from the person who first greets your child at the door, to the dental hygienists, to the dentist, himself. They always introduce each step in the cleaning process so gently, and in such a fun way, that my child could not wait to have her cleaning and fluoride treatment done. She is a toddler, so that says a lot! If I could give 10 stars, I would. They just have that special toddler magic that will keep us coming back again and again.

This dentistry is really good! My two little boys have been here for more than two years. All stuff are always friendly and professional. Especially the doctor is an excellent doctor. He loves children and has magical powers to talk with children. My kids really love him. It also has many advanced machines which are super technical to relieve the pain when the kids need to treat their teeth. Really recommend this office!
