Did you know that the American Dental Association now recommends that kids see a dentist for the first time by their first birthday? Your first impulse may be to take your child to your own dentist, but this is not a good idea, unless a sizable part of their practice is children.
The first dental visit for a child can be a scary proposition. Strange instruments, loud noises, and new faces can upset even the most nonchalant child. But Dr. Najmeh founded Little Star Pediatric Dentistry to make that experience a welcoming, relaxed and fun one!
“When I opened my office, I wanted to do something that was different that the surrounding dental offices. Something that made us stand out to the patients and to our community. From day one, we took the position that the patient needs and patient experience is more important than anything else. As such, we strive to treat each patient as unique individuals and not just another personal walking in through the doors. This foundation has helped create a great culture for our practice. We treat the person and the family, not just the teeth.
Because we start seeing patients at such a young age, we have the ability to influence their oral heath in a positive manner and set the groundwork for a lifetime of dental success. As a pediatric dentist, I have the opportunity to use my skills to make each child feel secure and comfortable at their dental home. My practice philosophy is to provide the same care that I would want my own child to receive. I believe patient and parent education and anticipatory guidance to be of the utmost importance.” – Dr. Najmeh

“I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Dr. Najmeh and her staff are! First of all, she has the friendliest staff I have ever encountered in a medical office. The hygienist who did the cleaning was such a sweetheart to my 4yo son! Dr. Najmeh is kind and very easy to talk to. She is knowledgeable, and so patient with my spirited kiddo. They spoke directly to him and were so kind even when he was uncooperative! They played his favorite movie, Toy Story, which he can watch while he gets his cleaning! And then he got a cool bag of “treats”!
I’m so jealous! Fun stickers and sunglasses and a mickey toothbrush! How did they know we love Mickey? She also performed a Frenectomy on my 10mo baby and he is doing AMAZING! She is so so sweet and took great care of him…he didn’t even cry. I’m so grateful that I found this place. Dr. Najmeh is such a pro. This place is a dream! Tv’s on the ceiling, you guys! It’s clean, it’s fun, it’s PEACEFUL!! I drive all the way from Hemet…it’s worth every mile! Go go go! I wish she was my dentist!”- Sydney Y
