Our Doctors & Staff

Let’s go behind the scenes of the Space Station. Oxnard Childrens Dental Group pediatric dentists are technically trained with advanced degrees and have undergone specialized training in family and children’s dentistry. Serving Oxnard families since 1977, we specialize in treating the unique pediatric dental needs of teens, tweens, children and infants. While parents look for the technical training and professional experience of the space station crew, it’s our patients whose trust we earn by being gentle, enthusiastic, patient and reassuring.
