Alpine Pediatric Dentistry in Alpine serves patients from birth through age eighteen at 1620 Alpine Blvd Suite 210, operating as a board-certified pediatric specialty practice under Dr. J. Shahangian, DDS, MS. The clinic coordinates referrals with general dentists throughout Lakeside and East County San Diego, including David R. Russell DDS, Inc. on Winter Gardens Blvd, for cases requiring pediatric-specialist intervention beyond the scope of general family dentistry. Southern California's first clinic to implement the University of North Carolina's Baby Oral Health Program, the practice addresses newborn tongue-tie conditions and schedules first dental visits between six and twelve months per American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Pediatric patients with complex medical histories coordinate care with primary physicians at the Alpine Regional Center, including Jerry Ayers, MD in the same building. In-office technology includes lowest-radiation digital X-rays, intra-oral cameras, laser fluorescence caries detection, single-tooth anesthesia delivery, 3D imaging, and ceiling-mounted televisions with wireless headphones to reduce procedural anxiety in young patients.
