Pediatric Dentistry Services
Gentle, expert care designed specifically for your child’s growing smile in Culver City
Care for Every Smile
You’ve been told your one-year-old needs to see a pediatric dentist, and you’re probably thinking, “Really? They barely have any teeth!” We get it – this recommendation catches most first-time parents off guard, but early dental visits are actually one of the smartest things you can do for your child’s long-term oral health.
At Silicon Beach Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve been helping first-time parents navigate these early dental experiences for over a decade. Dr. Ray and Dr. Hayley understand exactly what you’re going through.
First Dental Visits
A gentle introduction to dental care for your little one
Preventive Care
Teaching proper techniques for those tiny teeth
Early Monitoring
Catching potential issues before they become problems
Preventive Care: More Than Just a Cleaning
We focus heavily on teaching you the right techniques for cleaning those tiny teeth and helping you understand what’s normal as new teeth come in.
Your child’s first visit is really about you as much as it is about them. We’ll show you what to look for at home, answer all those questions you’ve been Googling at midnight, and help your toddler get comfortable with our team.
Silver Diamine Fluoride Application
This is one of our favorite tools for stopping small cavities without the need for drilling or sedation. It’s particularly helpful for very young children who aren’t quite ready for traditional fillings.
No scary tools, no rushing – just a gentle, effective treatment that puts your child’s comfort first.
Early Development Monitoring
We keep an eye on how your child’s teeth are coming in and how their bite is developing. Catching potential issues early – when your child is still young – often means simpler solutions down the road.
Dr. Ray and Dr. Hayley have spent years perfecting an approach that puts both children and parents at ease.

Our Pediatric Services
Our Approach to Pediatric Dentistry
Here’s something most parents don’t realize: not every pediatric dentist practices the same way. Some offices focus on high-tech equipment and extensive treatment plans. We focus on building relationships and taking a conservative approach that puts your child’s comfort first.
Dr. Ray Klein has been practicing in this community for over a decade, and Dr. Hayley Botwin brings fresh training and her preventative hygiene background that many children respond to beautifully. Together, they’ve created an environment where parents feel heard and children feel safe.
We’re also in-network with most PPO insurance plans, and we often help parents discover dental benefits they didn’t even know they had through their medical insurance. Many families are surprised to learn their child’s dental care is already covered.
