Description

The Smile Center, located within the CHOC Children's Health and Dental Center in Garden Grove. Provides children ages 0-17 living in underserved communities with quality and specialty dental care from routine check-ups to sedation treatment. Healthy Smiles also provides specialty dental care to children with serious complicated medical conditions through the Smile Clinic, a two-chair dental clinic and through access to operating room time located within CHOC Children's Hospital.

A patient's visit to the Smile Center begins with fun and educational activities at the Tooth Fairy Learning Center. Bilingual outreach educators teach and demonstrate the basics of oral hygiene and nutrition to families and children.

Healthy Smiles is a satellite site of The Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern California, Advanced Pediatric Dental Residency Program and through this partnership, Healthy Smiles provides a full range of sedation dental services at both the Smile Center and the Smile Clinic that address extreme and complex oral issues and children with medically fragile conditions.
