Board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and a nine-year U.S. Army veteran, Dr. Kristy Hayes provides specialized pediatric dental care at San Diego Smile Pros on Laurel Street in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill. The veteran-owned practice occupies a suite two blocks from Balboa Park and accepts behavioral-management cases that general offices often decline, a pediatric specialty niche within the broader integrative health corridor shared with providers like Soul Evolution San Diego in the same district. Hayes holds DMD credentials, NPI 1134311004, and California licensure in pediatric dental sedation covering nitrous oxide, minimal oral sedation, and general anesthesia for patients requiring advanced behavior management. Severe pediatric dental anxiety cases that exceed chairside behavior techniques sometimes involve parallel support from California Pacific Counseling Center in the Gaslamp Quarter for cognitive-behavioral desensitization before treatment. Icon resin infiltrant treatments arrest early interproximal caries without drilling by wicking low-viscosity methacrylate resin into demineralized enamel pores, preserving healthy tooth structure in primary and young permanent teeth.
