I LOVE Dr. Frank and Dr. Nick...I have 3 kids and my youngest was born with no enamel on her teeth. We've had to take her to the dentist since she was 11 months old and it was important to me to find the BEST...and they are the BEST! My kids think going to the dentist is as fun as going to Disneyland. :-)

We LOVE our pediatric dentist! Dr. Nick Brajevich on Hawthorne Blvd. just north of PCH. Sorry, I don't have his number handy, but he's wonderful! He has a great way with kids, doesn't use unnecessary drugs, etc., and is a wonderful parent (our kids go to pre-school together). His philosophies about care are all about inspiring kids and never having them be afraid to go to the dentist. My 4-year-old loves him, even after having cavities filled.

Hi E.,
We have been going to Dr.Vera Deutsch for years and the whole family just loves her. Not only is she a great dentist with a very kind and friendly disposition, but I really like the way she does business. She doesn't make you spend a lot on unnecessary work, but she thoroughly explains all of your options. She doesn't overbook. When you have an appointment you are with her during the appointment time. She doesn't believe in nitrous oxide which is the only way I used to get my teeth cleaned because they were so sensitive, but she doesn't even hurt you when she sticks that needle in with the novacaine! She is in Hermosa Beach on Pier Avenue, and you can usually get the parking space right in front. Her # is ###-###-####.

I found a dentist that i love for our family on Artesia just West of Inglewood (I think). Dr Alvarado. He explains everything so thoroughly and pleasantly. And truly cares that you promise to floss, unlike my past doctors who have made the compulsory statements and moved on.

Both my son (9 yrs) and I are happy with Island Dental in downtown Torrance on Cravens. The dentists are local guys, now all grown up and doing the dentist thing. The support staff is always friendly. I recommend them without hesitation.
