What Parents Are Saying
Don't just take our word for it — here's what Pomona families say about their Kids Dental Story experience.
“From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. Dr. Kim patiently explained each step to my child, reviewed X-rays thoroughly with me, and showed us exactly how to care for her teeth going forward. My child has seen many dentists over the years — Dr. Kim is the best we have ever met. My daughter is already saying she wants to go back, which says everything.”

“When my teenager broke his front tooth in half, they did an amazing job fixing it. The doctor and staff were incredibly kind and professional. A week later I brought my three children for checkups and they all loved it. I'm so grateful to have found a dentist who is honest, caring, and especially great with my youngest who is just six. The office is so nice and clean!”

“First time and had a very good experience. The dentist is very friendly and explains things well. My brother also came here when he broke his tooth in half and they fixed it up that same day. 10/10 would recommend.”

Common Questions from Parents
Do you accept Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal?
Yes — we proudly accept Medi-Cal (Denti-Cal) and most PPO dental plans. We believe every child deserves excellent dental care regardless of insurance. Call us at (909) 397-9791 to verify your coverage.
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by your child's first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits help catch issues before they become problems and build a positive relationship with dental care.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
Dental anxiety is very common in kids, and we specialize in gentle, patient-paced care. Dr. Kim's warm approach, our playful office, and Hodoo the office dog all help nervous kids relax. Let us know ahead of time and we'll take extra care.
Do you offer Saturday appointments?
Yes! We're open Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM so you don't have to pull kids out of school or take time off work.
