We Make Dentistry a Walk in The Park
We have designed our office and rooms to feel as non-threatening and safe as possible. To keep your child entertained, we have TVs with a selection of parent-approved channels to watch while we take care of their dental needs. We make recommendations depending on the child’s age, ability to cooperate, and amount of treatment needed. The treatments provided take the dental needs and behavioral aspects into consideration.
Both Dr. Dabir and Dr. Cuisia have been providing dental care to children and adolescents for over 15 years. They are qualified and licensed to provide treatments using nitrous oxide and also oral conscious sedation for children that need a little help in getting relaxed for the dental procedure.

Services
Laser Dentistry
Our laser dentistry procedures eliminate the need for local anesthetic in many cases, using advanced technology to ensure no heat, vibration, or pressure during treatment. This approach reduces discomfort and anxiety for young patients while maintaining precision and effectiveness. Parents appreciate the faster recovery times and reduced need for follow-up visits.
HealthyStart System
The HealthyStart System addresses arch development and breathing issues through non-invasive treatment, promoting proper dental alignment and overall health. This early intervention helps prevent future orthodontic problems while improving sleep and respiratory function. The system works with natural growth patterns for lasting results in developing children.
Frenectomy for Infants
We perform frenectomies to correct tongue-tie and lip-tie conditions in newborns, typically within the first six months of life. Early intervention prevents feeding difficulties and speech development issues while supporting proper oral function. Our gentle approach ensures minimal discomfort and quick recovery for the youngest patients.
Preventive Care
Our preventive care program includes regular checkups, cleanings, and education on proper oral hygiene practices for children. We provide age-appropriate guidance to parents and personalized care plans to prevent cavities and dental emergencies. This proactive approach establishes strong oral health foundations from an early age.
Pediatric Dental Exams
Comprehensive dental exams for children from infancy through adolescence assess development, identify potential issues, and create customized treatment plans. Our dentists explain findings directly to both parents and children using visual aids for better understanding. Exams include anticipatory guidance tailored to each child's developmental stage.
Questions
What age should my child first visit the dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child's first dental visit within six months of the first tooth erupting, typically around 12 months old.
What technology do you use for children's dental procedures?
We use state-of-the-art laser technology for many procedures, eliminating the need for numbing injections and reducing discomfort during treatments for most young patients.
Do you treat infants with feeding-related oral issues?
Yes, we perform frenectomies for infants with tongue-tie or lip-tie conditions that affect breastfeeding, typically recommending treatment within the first six months of life.
How do you make dental visits less scary for children?
Our office features kid-friendly amenities, TVs with parent-approved programming, and a staff trained in child behavior management to create positive, stress-free dental experiences.

Ive been taking my little one here since she was 1. They are amazingly good with even the most skittish children; everyone is very sweet, patient, and warm. Very clean and tidy office. TVs on the ceiling of every exam room with kids movies and shows playing which definitely helps with a happy visit. My daughter (who is easily overwhelmed by situations) responded so well to the environment and the hygienist and dentist. We are very happy here and would definitely recommend them to other families. Also easy parking available.

My children have been seeing Dr Dabir for many years now. When we first came here my son was very young and had a lot of anxiety during medical procedures. He needed to have several cavities filled, and some silver crowns. Dr Dabir was extremely patient and understanding with him, and made accommodations to help get him taken care of.

Just had our first ever experience here and loved it. I was nervous bringing a three and one yr old for their first visit but it was great. The staff are so friendly, gentle and patient with the kiddos and made the experience fun. Happy to find a place we can trust with our boys.

Weve been coming here for years and have always had consistently great experiences. The hygenists are all very patient with our autistic son, who isnt always super cooperative when it comes to his cleaning, with all the noise and vibrations. Theyve gone above and beyond to accommodate him when hes had to have more extensive procedures done as well. Would highly recommend Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry and Dr. Dabir!

This was my daughters first dentist visit ever and the staff were very kind. My daughter was uncomfortable but the assistant and doctor made her feel welcome and she quickly started to feel in a safe place. She was given prizes even before she was checked. Doctors explained everything that was going to happen before doing. As parents, we loved to see our children well treated and this place does just that! Definitely recommend, place is well cleaned and around fun activities for your kids after their appointments!

Super friendly staff! They made my daughter very comfortable and excited to be at the dentist! Lauren was AMAZING and walked my daughter through all the steps and what she was doing so she felt included! She also gave us some tips for my 5 month old that has her first teeth in already! They also gave me flowers, stickers, and a little soap for Mothers Day which was super thoughtful and nice! We will be coming here for a long time!

We have always had a great experience so Im not sure what happened today. Our oral technician was great, very friendly, and well versed in her technique. After she finished, she said the dentist will be in shortly; unfortunately after waiting 35 minutes without being seen or informed of the delay, we chose to leave. It appeared that the dentist there was with one patient for that 35 minute period, poor time management. Dr Dabir was on his day off so perhaps his absence was the source of this issue.

Dr. Dabir has been my kid's dentist for the past decade, and I can't speak highly enough about our experience. We found Dr. Dabir to be calm, patient, and very good. Aside from the normal cleanings and fillings, he navigated us through multiple tooth pullings for orthodontics, and what could have been frightening became just another visit. The offices are bright, clean, and kid friendly, including televisions on the ceilings. My kids are adults now, so we're moving to another dentist, but I will always be grateful for the service that Dr. Dabir provided.

Two words: toddler magicians! I cannot say enough positive words about everyone in the office from the person who first greets your child at the door, to the dental hygienists, to the dentist, himself. They always introduce each step in the cleaning process so gently, and in such a fun way, that my child could not wait to have her cleaning and fluoride treatment done. She is a toddler, so that says a lot! If I could give 10 stars, I would. They just have that special toddler magic that will keep us coming back again and again.

Most welcoming front desk staff! The whole staff is smiling and is extremely accommodating. Dr. Dabir and his staff make sure my child is on board whats going on. Dr. Dabir uses the latest technology and as results only necessary procedures are being made. This is a happy place for little kiddos! It does not feel as a traditional sterile scary dentist office. Cute interior decorations along with fun staff and the little patient leaves with a toy and all is good! The offices vibe & energy is cheerful.

Dr. Dabir is hands down the BEST dentist I have ever come across. My children look forward to seeing him even when they need to get their teeth pulled. He is warm, caring, and my children trust him 100%. We are already lamenting the day when they will have to graduate to an adult dentist.

Dr. Dabir and his whole staff are amazing. If I could give more stars I absolutely would. Dr. Dabir is incredibly skilled, professional, kind, and patient. He takes his time and explains things clearly to the parents and he is so great with children. Highly recommended!

We've been seeing Dr. Dubir and his amazing staff for about 7 years. I was referred to him by my coworker. Now everyone I work with takes their kids to CCD. When a staff truly enjoys what they do, and are happy to be where they are, it truly shows. They have always been so kind and helpful throughout our years there, we even drive from Fallbrook just to go there! We love Carlsbad Children's Dentistry and wouldn't imagine going anywhere else! :

This office has a lot of wonderful aspects. Very easy to book our appointment, bright and clean space, fun atmosphere and friendly staff. It just wasnt the right fit for my preschooler. The amount of visual stimulation (TVs playing, bright wallpaper, toys and prizes), in addition to all the stickers and rewards offered along the way turned out to be just too overwhelming for my young child.

The whole staff was very friendly and helpful, from the front receptionist to the assistants to Dr. Dabir. The assistant that helped us especially, did an amazing job at helping my son feel comfortable and not scared. My son asked if from now on we could come here to this dentist because he really liked it here. Really good work all around.

What a difference a pediatric dentist makes! After making the mistake of taking my little ones to the same dentist I went to - I realized I needed someone who the kids wouldn't be afraid to visit! Fortunately, Dr. Dabir was in the same building! My kids have been seeing him since they were in kindergarten & pre-K! Sadly, my youngest is turning 18 this year. Both my kids would prefer to continue with Dr. Dabir! You can't find a better fit for kids than the staff at Carlsbad Children's Dentistry!

Dr Dabir came highly recommended to us by 2 of my coworkers right after we moved to California 4 1/2 years ago. We are so glad we took their recommendation! He and his staff are so friendly and welcoming. My children always felt comfortable even when needing local anesthesia. My 14 year old daughter wants to be a dentist now because she's no longer afraid! Great dentist, great staff. Highly recommend.
