Pediatric Dentistry

Pacific Palisades Pediatric Dentist – West Los Angeles Children’s Dental Group 

We at Pacific Palisades Pediatric Dentistry welcome the opportunity to treat your child and teach them the best ways to take care of their teeth so that they may enjoy a lifetime of beautiful smiles.

One way our dental staff gains your child’s trust is by utilizing a “comfy room.” In the comfy room you will find a brushing station, books, an abundance of stuffed animals and no dental chair. On the child’s first visit, we use the comfy room to do “lap exams.” A lap exam is completed by having both you and your child sit on a couch. The child then leans back with a pillow on your lap, while their first dental exam is completed. The pediatric dentist then uses the books and stuffed animals to demonstrate dental procedures before administering treatment to the child.

Some of the common conditions we diagnose and treat include discolored (whitening or darkening) teeth, a broken tooth, gaps in teeth, painful gums, tooth aches and much more. We provide air abrasion technology when possible to remove decay in preparation for fillings or sealants. In addition to our traditional pediatric treatments, we are a leading provider for Pacific Palisades sports mouth guards.

Whether your child needs a comprehensive dental exam and cleaning, a cavity treated, or anything in between, we promise to provide your child with exceptional care. Your child's dental health is our top priority. As pediatric dentists in West Los Angeles, we specialize in the dental health care of infants, children, adolescents, and children with special needs. Below are just some of the topics that we discuss with our families who visit our practice. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us today.

Sincerely,

Dr. Carrie Loewen

Fantastic pediatric dental office. From the colorful fish tank in the reception area, to the fun colors, decals and color-coordinated cabinetry and accessories around the office, this place makes kids and parents alike feel at home. My kids were excited to come back for their second check up today. The dentists and support staff are very welcoming and friendly. They have comfy and colorful exam chairs with TVs above each one to distract the children. Brilliant!

It really doesn't get much better than this. The staff and the doctors are incredible. Dr. Loewen is so good with the kids. My kids always have a great experience here. My 6- year old was having a hard time with the bitewings for the x-rays and to watch how patient and supportive the staff was with him through the whole process was heartwarming. We are so lucky to have such high quality services here in the Palisades. A+.

This office is amazing! We had our first appointment today for my 15 month old daughter (who normally has anxiety when placed in new environments & meets strangers) but she absolutely loved it here! Dr. Loewen is so warm, friendly and inviting that my daughter allowed her to examine her mouth without any tears or fussing. It was incredible. The office atmosphere is phenomenal - from the aquarium to the sleek equipment - I really wish I could go here for my dental cleanings! Highly recommend.

A wonderful visit. My 3 year old had the time of his life. He got to watch some cartoons, got to feed the fish in the giant aquarium in the waiting room. Went home with a toy he got to choose and a pin wheel. I finally had to turn down the balloon offer out of fear that they were spoiling him so much. Oh, and we also had a dental exam too, complete with brushing, flossing, the works... Dr. Loewen was extremely patient, she showed my son exactly what she was about to do. She let him test out all the equipment and the result was resounding success. I thought he'd never want to leave. I'm so excited to have found this office!

My 4 year-old daughter always has a wonderful experience. Dr. Loewen and the staff put her at ease and she loves being able to watch cartoons while they clean her teeth. She actually looks forward to going to the dentist!

Perfectly done. My son had a terrible experience at another dentist so he was very anxious about getting a filling. The PPPD team did a fabulous job ! Happy to report one less child terrified of going to the dentist. Thank you so much.
