Pediatric Dental Office Opens in Pomona

Dr. Marita Smith has opened a new practice, Smith’s Little Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, in Pomona.

Marita Smith, D.D.S., a board-certified pediatric dentist, opened a new practice, Smith's Little Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, mid-January in Pomona. The practice offers a range of dental services for children from infancy through adolescence and offers weekend and evening appointments.

As a parent of two, Dr. Smith knows firsthand how important it is for children to be comfortable and stress-free during their dental visits. “Parents should encourage children before their visit—let them know that it’s not scary to go to the dentist,” Dr. Smith says. “We want to help them and make it as fun as possible.”

One way that Smith’s Little Smiles makes visits fun for children is to have a television screen in their direct field of vision during procedures, providing entertainment and a distraction.
