5 Best Children Dentists in Los Angeles (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A screaming toddler in a dental chair can undo years of good habits in a single bad visit. Los Angeles's top children dentists on this page have logged over 9,100 Google reviews between them, and every one sits at 4.8 stars or better, so the deciding factor is less about quality and more about which office actually makes a nervous kid want to come back.

Short answer: Fun Dental 4 Kids leads on volume with 4.9 stars across 2,300 reviews, closely followed by Super Kids Dental (4.9 from 2,027) and Sola Kids Dental & Orthodontics (a perfect 5.0 from 1,614). Costs for children's dental visits in Los Angeles vary by insurance, including Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal acceptance at several of these practices.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many parents have rated them, ranked against other Los Angeles children’s dentists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on thousands of reviews carries more weight than the same rating from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently parents are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a children’s dentist visit cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Pediatric dental costs in Los Angeles depend heavily on insurance coverage, including whether a practice accepts Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal, and on what the visit involves beyond a routine cleaning and exam. We don’t have a single reliable source for current Los Angeles-wide pricing across every practice, so we won’t invent figures here. Ask each office directly what your specific insurance plan covers before booking.

Serving all of Los Angeles

The practices above cover Downtown, Boyle Heights, South Los Angeles, Koreatown, and West Los Angeles, reaching families across the wider metro. Searching for a children’s dentist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can find the closest option and call ahead.

What to ask before your child’s first dental visit

  • Does the practice accept my insurance, including Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal if relevant?
  • How does the office handle a child who is anxious or has had a bad experience before?
  • At what age should my child have their first visit?
  • Is sedation or nitrous oxide available for more involved procedures?
  • How are emergency situations, like a knocked-out tooth, handled outside office hours?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these children’s dentists?

We started from real pediatric dental practices across Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

At what age should a child first see a dentist?

Most dental guidance recommends a first visit around the time the first tooth appears or by a child’s first birthday, whichever comes first. Ask any of the practices above for their specific recommendation.

Do any of these practices accept Medi-Cal or Denti-Cal?

Sola Kids Dental & Orthodontics specifically lists Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal acceptance alongside major insurance plans. Confirm current coverage and network status directly with any practice before booking.

The bottom line

Fun Dental 4 Kids is the safe default given its review volume and same-day availability, while Sola Kids Dental stands out for families who need orthodontics and broader insurance acceptance in one place. Either way, ask how the office handles an anxious child before you book.
