School Screenings

Working directly with a grade school or through the Orange County Dental Society, the doctors participate with various grade school screenings. School screenings are completed without the aid of adequate light, dental X-rays and proper instrumentation, but can be useful in finding children who have a high tendency for tooth decay and large cavities. Believe it or not, children miss more time from school for dental related issues than for any other reason!

 

Parent/School Talks

Dr. Mike, Dr. Kathy and Dr. Rich have given talks to various school groups, parent groups, and even medical groups including Grand Rounds at CHOC. The goals of these discussions regarding children’s teeth and oral health focus on prevention of tooth decay and the various ways teachers, parents and physicians can help in that regard.

 

Part Time Teaching

Dr. Mike and Dr. Kathy are both on the teaching staff at the USC School of Dentistry. In order to be fair to the university with the baby blue bear mascot, Dr. Mike also teaches at UCLA! We are proud of our philosophy and excellence of patient care and encourage students in the graduate pediatric dental programs to become proficient in behavioral management.
