Our Comprehensive Pediatric Dental and Orthodontic Services in Carlsbad
We offer a wide range of pediatric dental and orthodontic services, including:
Pediatric Dentistry
From preventive care like checkups and cleanings, to oral health education, and restorative treatments like dental fillings and crowns, we provide comprehensive dental care for your child’s growing smile.
Orthodontic Care
Are you looking for orthodontic care for your child, teen, or yourself? Dr. Natalie Dang, our board-certified orthodontist, provides early orthodontics, traditional braces, clear braces, and Invisalign for children, teens, and adults, in the same office your child already knows.
Emergency Care
Dental emergencies happen. If your child experiences sudden tooth pain or a dental injury, don’t panic. We offer prompt and compassionate emergency dental care to get your child back to smiling in no time.
One Familiar Office for Every Stage of the Smile
From your child’s first tooth and first cleaning to an early orthodontic evaluation, braces, or Invisalign, your family can receive coordinated care in one familiar Carlsbad office. Our pediatric and orthodontic teams work together to monitor growth, identify concerns early, and recommend treatment at the right time.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic checkup by age 7. An early checkup does not always mean treatment will begin right away. It lets Dr. Natalie Dang, our board-certified orthodontist, spot developing concerns and monitor your child’s growth during the years when treatment is not yet needed. Dr. Dang is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics who earned her DDS at UCLA and completed her orthodontic specialty training at USC, and she treats children, teens, and adults in the same office your child already knows.

We love Dr. Fazeli and her team at Discovery Children's Dentistry! Everyone is so warm and welcoming and my daughter loves the playroom and toy token at the end!
Dr Fazeli and her team are the best there is! Our family has been patients with Discovery Children’s Dentistry for a few years now, and each and every visit has been incredible. Everyone in the office is welcoming and warm, and the level of care we receive there is unmatched. I highly recommend this practice for pediatric dentistry!
My brother has down syndrome and he is incredibly nervous at any doctor appointment. But he connects so beautifully with everyone there from the moment he walks in and we check in at the front desk. Im so grateful for Gaby’s patience and humor through his nerves. It makes all the difference in making his cleaning a fun experience. And Dr. Fazeli is so gracious, sweet and calming. I really feel like its a whole team experience. And my brother leaves happy every time. I couldn't be happier with this office.
Best Dentist and even take Dental - Cal. They are great with my daughter who is autistic and my son that had previous bad experiences with dentists and now feels totally comfortable going 😊
I’ve had such a wonderful experience bringing my children to Discovery Children’s Dentistry. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when bringing kids to the dentist. They go above and beyond to make my children feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. Dr. Fazeli is very kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain everything clearly. My kids actually look forward to their appointments, which says a lot! I’m so grateful to have found a pediatric dental office we can trust. Highly recommend to any parent looking for excellent dental care for their children.
I take my kids, ages 5 and 9, to Discovery and have had a great experience both with the cleanings as well as a cavity filling. They make my young kids feel comfortable from start to finish which is not always the case. The dentist is kind and thorough.
Dr. Fazeli and her staff were so great with my son who unfortunately had an appliance placed incorrectly causing him a great deal of discomfort. They fit him in promptly and were so gentle and made the removal so easy! I also really appreciated that she took the time to answer my questions after since our son is a more complicated case than most. The office also had a nice play area and a fun prize at the end which my son loved!
We love this dental office. The staff are all lovely and kind. It’s clean and well managed and our kids are always comfortable and love going.
Highly recommend bring your kids here. The office is so fun for the kids, staff is fantastic. The dentist is extremely kind and warm. My son’s first dentist apt was extremely fun for him and I’m going to be coming back from now on. Best decision I made. I wish I could see her as an adult client haha ❤️ my son wants to come back because of his experience was truly awesome and fun .
Clean office, nice and friendly staff, patient and kind dentist. Great office for those who has special needs kids.
From the front desk to the dental chair, every visit feels welcoming and professional. I truly appreciate the time you take to explain everything clearly and make each appointment comfortable. Extend my gratitude to everyone in the office - you make going to the dentist genuinely a positive experience. Warm regards Michael McIntosh
Dr. Afsoon Fazeli is kind and knowledgeable dentist. She was patient with all my questions and gave me a lot of helpful information. Her transparency helped me to understand my son’s oral situation so that I felt very informed moving forward with our next steps.
My kids love Dr. Fazeli and the team at Discovery Children’s! The team is so kind and my kids enjoy the atmosphere? They even asked me when they get to come back!
Wonderful staff and very trustworthy Dr. i would recommend this practice to anyone.
10/10 experience! Dr.Fazeli was great with my kids and she explained everything to me in a simple clear way!
