Why is Preventive Care Important?

Give your child a healthy smile by setting up an appointment and we can help set their little smile up for success!

Dental Exams, Cleanings & X-Rays

Routine dental exams, gentle cleanings, and digital X-rays are key to keeping your child’s smile bright and healthy. At Elegant Family & Pediatric Dentistry, we make every visit easy and positive—spotting issues early, removing buildup, and guiding your child toward lifelong oral wellness.

Fluoride Treatments to Strengthen Growing Smiles

Fluoride treatments are a key part of preventive care for children, helping to strengthen tooth enamel and reduce the risk of cavities. At Elegant Family & Pediatric Dentistry, we provide safe, professionally applied fluoride during regular checkups to give your child’s teeth an extra layer of protection—especially important for kids still learning good brushing habits.

Frenectomies

Noticing your child has trouble breastfeeding or moving their mouth freely can be worrying but we are here for you. Your child deserves to speak, laugh, and eat with ease. That's where frenectomies come in. Frenectomies free up the connective tissue from lip or tongue ties. It’s minimally invasive and takes less than a minute with our state-of-the-art soft-tissue laser. Unsure if your child has a lip or tongue tie? Give us a call, we are always happy to assess the situation and provide honest guidance!

Dental Sealants for Long-Lasting Cavity Protection

Dental sealants are a simple yet highly effective way to prevent decay in hard-to-clean molars. Our pediatric dental team applies a thin, protective coating over the grooves of your child’s back teeth, blocking out food particles and bacteria. This quick and painless procedure offers years of defense against cavities and is especially recommended for children as soon as their permanent molars come in.

Frequently Asked Questions About Preventive Dentistry for Children in Rancho Bernardo,CA

Good oral hygiene habits are crucial for a healthy, happy smile. But sometimes, it can be difficult to inspire your kiddo to brush and floss. Here are some tips to inspire your child to brush and floss regularly:

Make it fun: Turn brushing and flossing into a game or a fun activity. You can use a timer or a fun toothbrush with their favorite cartoon character to make brushing more enjoyable.

Set a good example: Children learn by example, so make sure you practice good oral hygiene habits yourself. Brush and floss with your child and make it a part of your daily routine.

Reward good behavior: Reward your little one for good brushing and flossing habits. This can be something simple such as a compliment, a small treat, or extra play time!

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), a child's first dental visit should occur within six months of their first tooth eruption, but no later than their first birthday. The purpose of this initial visit is to establish a dental home for your child and to provide you with information and guidance on how to care for your child's teeth and gums properly.

We recommend that your child have their first dental visit by age one, or when their first tooth appears. Early dental visits help our pediatric specialists, Dr. Javidi and Dr. Parsafar, monitor development and establish healthy oral habits from the beginning.

Children should visit the dentist every six months for a checkup and professional cleaning. Routine visits allow us to detect issues like cavities or orthodontic concerns early, when they’re easiest to treat.

Yes! Fluoride treatments are safe and effective. They strengthen tooth enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Our San Diego pediatric dental team uses the appropriate fluoride level for each child’s age and dental condition.

My 6yo daughter and I had a good experience here with Dr. Babak. They were flexible with scheduling and they even put her favorite movie. He spent more time with us than I would generally expect a dentist to. He sees adults as well so it would be easy to get everyone's appointments done all at once. Would recommend!

Extremely friendly staff, state of the art tech, brand new office; timely service and focused on people and care, for a change and not business.

I have known Dr. Parsafar or "Dr.A"  since she started working with us. I enjoy everything about her dental practice and as a person especially her sweetness , kindness and thoughtfulness. I Would definitely recommend her and her office !!

After being referred to a different dental office for my daughter's teeth, my maternal instincts raised concerns about the initial diagnosis, which suggested sedation and a significant number of cavities. Opting for a second opinion, I consulted with Dr. Javidi, and I am incredibly grateful I did. Dr. Javidi instilled a sense of confidence and none of the previously mentioned concerns were present.

Given urgency of my situation, they gave me an appointment within 2 days. Super nice, fresh and fancy facility. Warm welcoming staff. Drs. Javidi and Parsafar were on top of everything and took care of my tooth quickly!

My mom went by to Elegant Dentistry for a cleaning and came back feeling very pleased with your experience! She will be booking any further appointments at this office, as she feels she found a great home dentist that made her feel very comfortable and also executed their job incredibly well!
