Because cavities know no age boundaries, we recommend that your child's first dental visit happen around their first birthday or soon after the first tooth erupts. Both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics recognize early childhood cavities as a health problem affecting a significant number of children and recommend that a child see a dentist at one year of age or six months after the first tooth comes in.
Though born in Taipei, Taiwan, Dr. Liu spent his childhood in Southern California. He attended Loma Linda Academy for high school, and then graduated from Loma Linda University in La Sierra, CA, with a BS degree in Biology.
Richard F. Stafford was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. He and Dr. Liu have known and worked with each other since 1988 when Dr. Liu was on the faculty at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry and Dr. Stafford was undergoing his dental anesthesia residency training.
Born in Staten Island, NY, Dr. Jack Hou grew up in Jackson, TN. Dr. Jack attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry.

I took my babies to their first dental appointment today at Eastside Pediatric Dental and THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! My babies were a little shy at first but the hygienist was so sweet, warm, friendly and inviting. When the doctor/dentist arrived shortly after, my babies had a confidence that I would have never believed for a first visit. They were so proud and so am I. I am so glad I chose to come here. I wish I myself could come here and I have an EXTREMELY DEBILITATING FEAR OF DENTIST!

Dr. Liu has been our dentist for the past decade and has treated all 3 of my children. He is kind, communicative, and trustworthy. He never tries to upsell and he operates from a place of warmth and authenticity because he is also a Dad. He is proactive in taking care of immediate needs, but also honest about the things that can wait. My kids have all had cavities filled there, but have no qualms about going to the dentist and appreciate Dr. Liu's gentle approach!

I take both of my girls here who have had rather extensive dental needs. They have made the experience a positive one and my kids leave asking when they get to go back. Dr. Liu and the whole team are wonderful and attentive and follow up to check on the patients after.

Took my daughter for her first appointment and everything went so well. They showed her the tools to familiarize her with everything before they got started. Office staff were friendly and the office is clean. Plenty of parking.

The staff and Dr. Liu we're great for a 2 year old boy's first time. The Dental assistant was awesome with him and kept him entertained. Best "teeth doctor" visit! Thanks Dr. Liu and staff.

We love EPDG. Each visit is smooth, minimal waiting with paperwork filled ahead, both the assistants and the doctors are super fast and friendly. My daughter loves the dentist visits, and I think that speaks for itself.

We absolutely love Eastside Pediatric Dental Group, and our kiddos have been patients for the past ten years. It is especially helpful how they're able to see our children at the same time during concurrent appointments, how every single staff member is gentle & kind and puts children ease, and how they've helped us navigate the referrals to other needed dental specialists (orthodontics/dental surgeons)

This place was great! To making an appointment, to the dental assistant was super friendly and made it a great experience for my daughter! She also recommended good tips for teeth brushing, a hike trail for my daughter and I, just welcomed us to the neighborhood! The dentist himself was also really nice, patient and an active listener! Overall, a great experience.

Awesome dentist office! We went for our first visit with our twins. Everyone was so super friendly and gentle. Throughout their visit it was apparent that they had a lot of experience putting nervous children at ease. They patiently explained all the tools to toddlers and let them touch each one before using them. They front and back office was super efficient too. Entire visit for both kids was less than 40 mins.

I saw great reviews on Yelp and was looking forward to the first dental visit for my daughter. They did not disappoint me, from the front desk and the scheduler to the dental hygienist (Blake) and the dentist (Dr. Liu), everyone was friendly and incredibly nice. This is the best pediatric dental office! Highly recommend.

We love everyone here and the atmosphere puts even nervous kids at ease. You can tell everyone takes great pride in what they do. It's not just a paycheck. They genuinely care for the well being of your kids. Each person we've encountered has a lovely energy to them and a great way with kids. I could never take my kids elsewhere. Truly nothing negative to note.

Everyone is incredibly professional, efficient and friendly. Thank you so much! And for anyone reading that's concerned about covid I can assure you they are going above and beyond to ensure everyone's safety.

We have been going to this dental clinic since my 2 kids were newborns. We liked them since our first visit with Dr Lombardi. The staff at this dental office has always been friendly and professional. They always keep the environment relaxed for my kiddos by chatting with them to distract them from the dental anxiety. The dentists here always listen to our questions and concerns and we never feel any pressure taking any unnecessary X-rays of our kids' mouth.

They always respect your choice if you decide to refuse the proposed treatment and they would listen to your suggestions instead. At the start of the pandemic, we were sad that they had to let go our dentist due to financial difficulty. However, we keep going to this dental office because the owner dentist Dr. Liu is also extremely experienced, professional, and kids friendly.

He has trained his staff to be very warm and caring. They also called us to follow up after a cavity filling and tooth extraction. We highly recommend this dental office to parents who care to have their voice heard and choices respected in addition to having a great dental care experience.

We love this dentist office, from the friendly efficient staff and Dr. Lu, my daughter has gone from fearing dentist time to looking forward to them. They are gentle, fun and explain each step to the kids while in the chair. They offer a few flavor choices of toothpaste polish, which my kid loves and they get a token for a prize at the end. They also provided us with top local Orthodontist referrals to assist us through the braces process. Wonderful all around.

I bring my two children aged 5 and 2 to this practice and have been blown away by the genuinely respectful way the kids are treated as decision makers in their care. Their fears have been validated instead of minimized. It has made all the difference in my children recognizing the dentist as an ally instead of someone scary. The hygienists are wonderful and patient.

They make detailed notes about child preferences and have age appropriate expectations about child behavior. Dr. Lombardi is excellent. She is kind and gentle w the kiddos. We had been told that my son (4 yrs at the time) would need to be put under general anesthesia for fillings. When we came here for a second opinion she did a comprehensive exam and said it wasn't necessary.

We have been watching the spots on his teeth and they have been stable. So glad we got a second opinion here. I wish we had been coming here all along. I highly recommend this practice to all my friends
