Meet Dr. Kevin Chang
Dr. Kevin Chang earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of the Pacific and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at New York University College of Dentistry.

We take a mindful approach to pediatric dental care by minimizing toxic exposure wherever possible. Our treatments are carefully chosen with your child’s overall health in mind:
• Fluoride-free and aluminum-free products
• Gluten-free tooth-cleaning options
