I am on the hunt for a good pediatric dentist and would love some recommendations. I live in the Mar Vista area but would drive anywhere in West Los Angeles. It is worth it for a great dentist for my kids.

What can I do next?

My son and the daughter of one of my good friends goes to Westside Pediatric Dental Group. They are located on 1273 Seventh St. Suite C, Santa Monica, 90401. The number is ###-###-####. My son loves to go here and when they are finished there is a "treasure box" where they can pick out a toy. My son saw Dr. Shwartz (sp?) and she was very good with him. My friend's daughter wasn't very fond of Dr. Rose and has since seen one of the other Dentists on her other visits. I highly recommend giving them a try!!

My son goes to Dr. Lynn Lempert's office. She has an office in Santa Monica and another on Wilshire in Beverly Hills. We have seen several dentists in her office including her and they and the staff that works there is great. They have videos the kids can watch and they're really good at explaining what they're doing as they're doing it. My son loves going to the dentist.

I live in Mar Vista, but would drive to the Valley if I had to, to go to our dentist.
Luckily, I don't have to. The BEST dentist you could ever find is Sadie Metsman.
Her office is on La Cienega and Wilshire. The whole family sees her. However,
she was a miracle worker with my younger son who was extremely scared of
dentists until he met Sadie - now he will do anything for Sadie, including
flossing and brushing his teeth twice a day. Her number is 310/659-1005.

He is located at 8930 S. Sepulveda Blvd., Ste #205, LA 90045. He has been our daughter's dentist for the last 8 years, ever since our daughter was 4.

Dr. Patricia N. Turley
14650 Aviation Blvd.
Between Rosecrans and Marine behind the Marriot)
Manhattan Beach, CA 90250
###-###-#### Office

Dr. Turley shares a practice with her husband. I read somewhere online that she used to have a separate practice before where she treated the kids of celebrities. She and her staff are very sensitive and gentle to little ones and their parents. She is very helpful and instructive on how to care for our almost 2-year old little boy. The office has a really cute beach/surf theme. They play Disney videos on flat screens in each room. The lobby has a play area. And there is another big room where waiting kids could play video games. And the location is close to the 405 freeway.

We were referred to Dr. Turley by the ER doctor that put stitches in my son's mouth when he fell climbing into his umbrella stroller (yeah, that was my fault). Anyway, the ER doctor didn't know how to give us a referral to a pediatric dentist other than by giving us the name of the dentist that he takes his own kids, too. She is AWESOME! We are so glad we got that referral!
