I took my kids to Scripps pediatric Dentistry www.scrippspediatricdentistry.com and was very happy with the young practice. The office was very child friendly and for my younger daughter who was nervous, they offered laughing gas which worked wonders.

We use Dr. Scoma in Mira Mesa. He and his staff are wonderful in explaining things to the children. They also let the children watch movies while undergoing treatment which helps in keeping them distracted somewhat. Good luck to you.

A new pediatric office just opened up in Scripps Ranch next to Chuck e cheese.. I had already tried the Dixon's practice but they don't allow parents back there and I'm not comfortable with that.. My daughter came back crying and extremely upset. We then tried Dr. Scoma but he never seems to have enough time for children and to be gentle. I was super excited to see this new place and made an appointment. We loved it here, the doctor is the kindest person on the planet and the assistant is great as well. The only problem with this place is that they just opened and they are still trying to figure things out. You should try it my daughter had lots of fun on the dance floor that they have..

Hi there! We just found Poway Family Dental Group on Scripps Poway Parkway. They have an awesome website and everyone is SUPER nice. My daughter just turned 3 and she's got a tiny little chip on the front of one of her teeth so we wanted to get that checked. The dentist was quick, took a peak and that was it. He was very nice to her and didn't try to shove his fingers in her mouth (which we've had dentists try to do in the past!). He told us that as long as we're brushing her teeth and there are no problems that she doesn't need to come in until next year. Phew! So we've been there once but we had a great experience. :) I think the website is powayfamilydental.com. Hope this helps!! Good luck!

Hi N.!
I take my 4 kids, aged 7-17, to ABC Children's Dentistry. It's located just west of I-15 on Rancho Penasquitos/Poway road. It's in the McDonald's parking lot. The dentist is a woman and she's great with kids. We've been going to her for the past 4 years. Good luck.

Hello N., I have been taking my daughter to Dr. Bruce Baker for 4 years and my daughter LOVES it there. As far as my view, everyone there is sooo awesome, I always feel welcome and everyone is always so nice. Dr. Baker is so great with my daughter. My daughter loves going there for all the fun games/movies and she isn't afraid at all. The environment is so relaxed and kid friendly that she feels right at home. She actually gets excited now when I tell her we are going to the dentist. I hope this review is helpful.

I am from the Poway area and growing up my brother and I went to a dentist off of Pomerado road, by the hospital. It was a practice with twin brothers, Duane and Wayne, who both worked there. They were very happy, friendly and great dentists. Their last name is Brannon. I am not sure if they are both still in practice but it is worth a shot. I have since moved south so I do not go there anymore. I know my brother last went there about 3 years ago.

I second Dr Dixon in Rancho Bernardo. http://www.dixonandthurston.com/
After some terrible experiences that included a formal complain against one ped dentist we found ourselves there. They have been perfect with my boys. They are now our regular dentist.
My eldest son's favorite is Dr Amodeo http://www.dixonandthurston.com/pediatric_dentistry_san_d...
My eldest is the one who had all the problems and gets along really well with him.
It's worth going there!

When my son was 2, I took him to see Dr. Bruce Baker near Pomerado/Poway. Although the office was very nice, the appointment did not go very well. I don't think my son was old enough to understand and/or allow the xrays, so he fought them on everything. We tried again at age 3, and I thought it might help to try a new dentist so that the experience would be different. A Mom's Group recommended Dr. Anthony Scoma in Scripps Ranch, and it has been nothing but wonderful! My son has been twice now, and cooperates fully with all of the examination. It certainly helps that there's a TV on the ceiling that the kids can watch during the cleaning. Both of these gentlemen are pediatric dentists.
