Sheila Harris, D.D.S., M.S., specializes in children’s dentistry. She is a Loma Linda University graduate, providing full-spectrum pediatric dental services in a relaxing, kid-friendly environment for your little ones.
Your child’s oral health is important to us. We offer anticipatory guidance as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry to aid you in maintaining proper dental home care for your child. Why is this so important? Healthy primary teeth help your child to speak clearly and chew thoroughly. Keeping primary teeth in good physical shape is also essential to allow space for the permanent teeth to grow in and to give your child a natural smile.
Dental caries is an unsightly, prevalent disease. When left untreated it causes pain, swelling and infection. This can have a negative impact on your child’s overall health; his or her ability to eat and perform well in school and even affect sleep patterns. We focus on early decay prevention by educating parents and children on how to properly care for their teeth. We provide tooth-colored fillings that have a natural look, sealants for prevention of decay on the grooves of tooth surfaces, and other services vital to keeping your child’s smile healthy.
We offer sedation when appropriate, customized to your child’s needs. We even have a Dental Anesthesiologist to provide general anesthesia, if needed, which conveniently allows for multiple treatments to be completed at one time. This means less stress on you and your child.
We have a warm caring staff that will make your child’s dental experience calm and carefree, ensuring a positive dental experience that will last a lifetime.
