Long Beach Orthodontics and children dentistry

Thank you, Dr. Nashed and team, for taking such great care of my son Aaron. He was so calm throughout the entire dental visit, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe he felt in your care. I truly appreciate the way you all work with children — kind, patient, and professional. I highly recommend this office. Very Good with Kids!

I took my son in for a routine cleaning appointment, something we've never had any issues with before. Unfortunately, our experience at this office was deeply disappointing and upsetting. During the visit, the dental assistant insisted on removing one of his baby teeth that was already wiggly. While I understand that baby teeth naturally fall out, the way this was handled was completely inappropriate. My son became visibly uncomfortable and expressed that he didn’t feel okay with the situation. Instead of offering reassurance or speaking to him with compassion, the assistant responded rudely, telling him to "stop crying or the dentist won’t check you," and even said, "stop crying, there’s cameras." This was not only dismissive but entirely uncalled for. While I was trying to comfort and encourage my son, I was told to sit away from him, further escalating his distress. The assistant’s behavior was unprofessional and, in my opinion, entirely unfit for working with children. My son was left feeling anxious and traumatized by what should have been a routine, low-stress appointment. There were no cavities, no infection — there was absolutely no medical urgency that justified her behavior. We will not be returning to this office. I hope this review encourages the staff and management to reflect on how children should be treated in a dental setting — with patience, care, and respect

It was a wonderful experience, bringing our kid here. All his teeth were fixed up.

Dr. Nashed was so kind and professional. He answered all our questions and made our child feel so comfortable. It was his first time visiting the dentist. Any parent will know that makes the biggest difference in his future dental care! Our child keeps asking about when he can go back! The staff were incredible, the front office to the hygienists! Thank you all for your help!

This is my second visit here for myself and my two children. My 11 year old received braces, and my 5 year old needed some work. Dr. Matt Nashed was super informative of what’s going in regards to his treatment I will be bringing my fiancé here and also will be working to correct my smile as well. I received more information than I’ve ever received. My dentist of 14 years never gave me this much information. I recommend you come here! They are also very gentle surprisingly my 5 year old wants to come back… They are confident about the work they provide here.
