We had such a wonderful experience at Little Roots Pediatric Dental Care Group! From the moment we walked in, everyone made my son feel comfortable and excited about his visit. Dr. Linda was absolutely amazing. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my son. Before doing anything, she gave him a mirror and showed him exactly what she would be doing on an alligator model, then mirrored those same steps during his exam. It was such a thoughtful and comforting approach that helped him understand everything and feel completely at ease. You can truly tell that she loves what she does and genuinely cares about every child she treats. They also took the time to teach him how to brush his teeth, making the appointment both fun and educational. The office has a wonderful play area with iPads that kept him entertained and helped ease any nerves. Cindy and Bella at the front desk were phenomenal--so welcoming, friendly, and helpful from start to finish. The dental assistant, Miss Ngnin, was also incredibly kind and made my son feel safe and comfortable during his visit. It's not easy finding a pediatric dental office that combines exceptional care with such a warm and child-friendly environment, but Little Roots exceeded all of our expectations. He also got a toy and a balloon at the end of the visit, which made him so happy. Thank you to Dr. Linda, Cindy, Bella, Miss Ngnin, and the entire Little Roots team for making my son's first experience so positive and special. We are so grateful and highly recommend this office to any parents looking for an outstanding pediatric dentist! read more

For all the scared mommas out there, this dentist's office is one of a kind. My four year old had three cavities needing fillings. I was very nervous for my little guy but Dr Ngo is PHENOMENAL. The office is very very clean. It has toys, little iPads to play on, and they have little tokens the kids can use to get little toys. My son did amazing because of her kind and gentle care. Thanks Dr. Ngo, Canaan did great because of you! read more

Goodness was I nervous about taking my LO to her first entire appointment. We found little roots through our insurance provider's website, and we chose little roots due to the good reviews, welcoming office, and the fact that the dentists are also mamas themselves. We worked with Dr. Hani, and we had an incredible first experience. Dr. Hani was welcoming and friendly. She took her time to meet and interact with my LO (15 months). In fact, she got comfortable enough with Dr. Hank to sit still all by herself in the chair to get polished and flossed. What! Ok, maybe the tv on the ceiling helps, but still. For us, Dr. Hani provided tips and guidance. After, she got a little dental baggy to go and picked a little rubber duck! It was all-in-all such a seamless experience. read more

The staff at Little roots Dental really takes their time and they're wonderful with kids. I absolutely recommend them.

I came to Little Roots to find a new dentist for my five kids, where they could perform all the necessary procedures without the need to visit different dentists. All my children had checkups, and the front office was very professional and kid-friendly. I am very happy with the patience they showed with each of my kids. Cindy was extremely professional and kind, answering every question and concern I had. Thank you so much, Dr. Hanieh; you are an amazing dentist! read more

I can not express my appreciation to dr linda enough. My son is autistic and she did such a great job calming him through out the visit. He had both his teeth pulled out and he didn't even cry and do anything at all. He relaxed and just watched tv while she was doing her job. Love her! She even told me, my son has a slight tongue tie which i didn't even know about. Let alone no one has told me about this even when he was a baby. Even tho I've questioned it so many times too. My other son who is 3 years old and doesn't like brushing his teeth. But when he's there he laid down and let her brush his teeth and even allowed her to do his teeth cleaning. dr linda is awesome. Everyone should bring their kids to her. Also want to thank her front desk receptionist Cindy. She is super sweet and very helpful. She got us in super fast.! Thank you so much! i trust taking my kids now to their dentist. read more

Dr Linda saw my 4 year old for more complicated dental treatment and I was shocked at how well my child did with her. She was gentle and efficient. The practice is super cute and inviting and I will be referring all of my friends' children to her. read more

I was a bit nervous taking my daughter to her first dentist visit since she's just turned 1 but Dr. Linda and her staff were very welcoming and comforting. Dr Linda took the time to carefully explain in detail what my daughter's visit would consist of as well as giving me advice on what to do back home to prevent early cavities on my 1year old. The office was very clean, organized and welcoming and a nice little play area in the lobby . I will definitely be recommending Little Roots to my mommy friends. read more

My husband and I are so elated to have found such a wonderful dental practice for our hellions. Everyone is so nice, caring, and professional. This is the second pediatric dentist's office we are giving a shot, and I honestly have to say the experience was night and day compared to our visit at the other practice. I wanted a second opinion b/c the first place we went to wanted to do general anesthesia for my 4 year old, and we're just not comfortable with that. The boys saw Dr. Linda. Dr. Linda listened to my concerns, I even warned her that the boys might be a *tad* antsy and it might be hard to keep them still (the other place we went to had my boys nervous and they weren't comfortable). Not only was she able to see all three boys (not a tear from one of them! Instead they were all smiles when we left! That's a win in my book!), she was able to treat my soon with oral sedation! We didn't need to do general anesthesia!!! Scheduling an appointment was easy! And being able to see all three of them concurrently worked perfectly for us. They accepted our insurance, also another bonus. Oh, and they do fun raffles! We're absolutely thrilled to find a dentist that the kids (and we) like! If only she saw adults (haha)! read more

I had went to a prior dentist where they recommended tons of fillings for my daughter and wanted to charge me for composite fillings knowing they are covered by my insurance! I wanted to get a second opinion thankfully I came across little roots on instagram I loved how modern it was and how more up to date the office looks so I took my daughter in earlier this year and it went wonderful and she didn't need none of the fillings the prior dentist recommended ! Today my daughter had her first treatment done in this office and she was happy with her experience she loves Dr. Hassani and says how wonderful she was with her during treatment . I highly recommend this practice for your kids dental needs ! Thank you little roots ! read more

They took really great care of my daughter after some other dentists were shuffling us around. Now all my children see them and I feel really comfortable knowing their dental health is cared for. read more

Highly recommend Little Roots! All the staff are amazing. My son looks forward to dentist visits now. Dr. Linda is very professional and super friendly. Detailed information about treatment plans and very proactive with developing teeth! So happy we found this office. read more

What an amazing practice! I was so nervous bringing my autistic 3 year old to the dentist but the staff and Dr Linda were nothing short of amazing. From the minute we walked in the front desk member made us feel welcome. Dr Linda seems very experienced with children with special needs and I am so grateful. I'd highly recommend this office to anyone looking to bring their child to the dentist. read more

Dr. Linda and her team are so amazing! They're knowledgeable, personable, and great with kids. My little ones love going to the dentist because of Dr. Linda and the rest of the staff. read more

This is the best dental clinic I've ever been to. The front desk staff, nurses, and doctors are all absolutely amazing.My younger son Jasper had a very painful experience at another dental clinic, and we had no choice but to transfer. After coming here, he absolutely loves this dental office. Dr. Linda is always incredibly patient in explaining everything, and she always manages to calm my son down. As a mom, I can clearly see that her gentle and patient approach has greatly reduced his discomfort. My older son also strongly requested to switch to Little Roots. Now, neither of them is afraid of going to the dentist anymore because every visit has been such a positive experience. We feel so lucky to have found such a caring doctor and team. read more

So impressed with Little Roots Dentistry. Today was my daughter's first visit here and Dr. Linda was so sweet and professional! I loved the lady at the front desk too! She was so kind to my daughter. The office was very clean and nice. I just loved every single thing about this practice. read more

I was blown away by the care the doctor had for my daughter's very first dentist appointment. She is two and typically doesn't enjoy a teeth brushing but after some conversation and "brushing" the stuffed animals' teeth, she opened up and was more than willing to get her teeth cleaned. All the woman were amazing from the front desk to the assistants to the doctor. I will gladly make the 20 minute drive to see them every 6 months. Thank you all for making this an enjoyable experience for my family read more

My three kids went to Little Roots for a check up for the first time today and they had a wonderful experience. Dr Linda was able to see them all at the same time and the evaluation/cleaning was quick and thorough. I loved how she educated the kids so they could understand and learn how to care for their own teeth. She had them hold a mirror and pointed out areas that needed extra care and cleaning. When I tell my kids the importance of brushing their teeth they don't always listen, but when Dr Linda instructed them they listened intently. I loved how she took time to emphasize the importance of oral hygiene. Going to the dentist can be anxiety provoking but Dr Linda and her staff made it an enjoyable visit! All three kids left happy! read more

Every parent is worried about finding an awesome dentist for their kid, but this entire office & dentist team is amazing! They make the parents and kids feel so welcomed and such a smooth process. All the dental assistants are patient and helpful - my son had to have some fillings and caps... everything went wonderful and we have NO problem when it's time for our dentist appointments. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Linda and the staff at Little Roots were wonderful with my 2 kids, age 7 and 5. Dr. Linda was so warm and compassionate - she took her time getting to know the kids and making them feel at ease. By the time they were in the seat for the cleaning, they were happily chatting away. She explained each step thoroughly to the kids so they knew what was going on. They weren't paying much attention though, because they were busy watching Disney plus shows on the overhead screen - a great distraction! The staff took the time right before the procedure to let the kids choose their own show/movie to watch. During the procedure Dr. Linda was very encouraging and kept asking them if they were doing ok and whether they needed a little break. I was the one that was impatient and kept telling her "they're fine, it's ok!" :) I appreciated how Dr. Linda went over the X-rays in DETAIL with us AND the kids. My daughter was able to see how she had incoming teeth coming up from under her baby teeth. She kept saying "wow! This is so cool!" I love that Dr. Linda included my kids in the discussions. We had to make a return visit to have a cavity filled. It was our first time dealing with a cavity. I was super anxious but I didn't need to be. Not even a tear. I was especially bracing myself when I saw the numbing needle come out (we all know how awful those are!!) but my daughter didn't even flinch. As they were cleaning/filling the cavity, Dr. Linda kept my daughter engaged and distracted with a cute little story about how many sugar bugs they were capturing and also told her she was drawing a unicorn on the tooth (creative way of explaining the different sensations on the tooth- no actual unicorn drawn, guys). After we left the office, I caught my daughter staring at her teeth in the mirror. She said, "I'm trying to see the blue glitter unicorn Dr.Linda drew on my tooth!" I asked if she saw it and she says, "I think so!" Lol. First cavity down, success!! I was searching for an office with availability to fit my schedule and I'm so glad I found Little Roots. I looked into the dentists at this office and learned that although she is new to this location, Dr. Linda has been practicing dentistry for well over a decade and recently relocated to be closer to family. I appreciate that Dr. Linda has little kids of her own and has first hand experience dealing with the same concerns and challenges we have as parents of little ones. The difference I've noticed here is that they seem to have a genuine interest in empowering the kids to be active participants in their dental care. I love that because it encourages the kids to have a sense of responsibility for taking care of their own teeth. I'm definitely one of those "have a million questions" "on high alert at all times" parents and yet I was truly impressed with the care we received here so I wanted to offer some insight to the parents out there who are looking for a pediatric dentist. We'll be calling Little Roots our dental home for the kids. :) read more

I brought my daughter and son to Little Roots. Dr. Hasanni, staff and Cindy have all been amazing. Dr. Hasanni provided excellent care in their treatment. My daughter is highly anxious and Dr. Hasanni and her assistant were able to put my daughter at ease. Communication about our treatment plan and billing was transparent and up front. I am thankful to have found such a wonderful Dentist for my kids. read more

Dr. Linda Ngo truly cares about the children. She is caring and super friendly. My daughter has autism and they treated her with care. The staff and Dr. Linda were super patient with her. Cindy is helpful and she answered all my questions without complaining. Lol. She also helped me coordinate procedures that my daughter needed, and i didn't have to break my head trying to coordinate everything. Don't hesitate to bring them in with Dr. Linda. I'm just so happy I found a friendly, reliable and kind dentist for my kids. read more

Just came back from Little Roots Pediatric Dentistry. I brought my two kids, who are 1 and 4 years of age. It was my 1 year olds first time and I didn't think anything could be done because she tends to bite my fingers whenever I try to brush or floss. But Dr. Linda was able to clean, floss, and take a look at her teeth without much fuss!! For my 4 year old, he had a lot of cavities and Dr. Linda suggested nitrous and oral sedation for a later time. I thought it was a bit much but she didn't want to traumatize my kid. After discussing with my wife, we decided to go with Dr. Linda's suggestion. I'm glad we did. Everything went well and my boy was eating and drinking after an hour. Thank you Little Roots Dentistry!!! read more

Dr. Linda has been my grandchildren's dentist for a while now and they love her! She is very gentle and has a way of talking to them where they can comprehend what instructions she is giving them. They are made to feel so comfortable while in the dental chair which is pretty awesome! She is very thorough and her level of integrity is of the highest! I would recommend Little Roots Pediatric Denitisty for all your pediatric dental needs without hesitation! read more

I just wanted to thank Dr. Linda and the staff at Little roots for giving my 3 year old such a positive experience every time we visit them. Everybody we've interacted with at Little roots has been very friendly and understanding. Dr. Linda has always been very patient with my son and she's never tried to force anything that he doesn't want to do. I'm so glad that I found this place and I look forward to keep bringing my little one here every few months. I highly recommend Little Roots to anyone looking for a great pediatric dental office. read more

I brought my daughters in as I noticed some spots on one of my daughters's tooth. My other daughter was there just for a check up. The staff was friendly. Dr. Linda was so thorough in explaining everything to me and my daughters. She made sure we understood where the problem areas for sugar bugs were for them and how to take care of it and to prevent future problems. I left feeling reassured about the diagnosis and Dr. Linda's plan. Total bonus that Dr. Linda is soo sweet and gentle with my daughters. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Dr. Linda was wonderful. She was kind, patient, and aware of children's emotional needs aside from the important dental needs. My daughter has sensory sensitivity and Dr. Linda was made aware of it and prepared well for it, which as a parent, it is enormously appreciated. My daughter had the best experience. She didn't cry or get upset as she has before. Dr. Linda accomplished a routine check-up by providing support to my daughter and her needs. I am extremely grateful. read more

AMAZING! This children dental office made my nephew and niece's dental visits easy and fun. Dr. Hani was very competent and kind. Even though my niece was terrified at first, after we left the clinic, she was overjoyed and wants to go back and have her teeth checked again!!!! They also offer an area with tablets, which my nephew liked a lot. Thank you Dr Hani and team. 15/10 read more

I scheduled an appointment for my 10 year old and it was amazing! The dentist was super kind, nice and energetic. I honestly felt like she took her time to make a proper diagnose but also take the time to know my son. Was able to schedule an appointment right away and a time that worked out perfectly with my work schedule and school schedule. Location is very clean and close by. Definitely recommend this new office to the entire community. read more

Finding the right pediatric dentists for kids can be tricky but lucky for our family, we're happily at home with Little Roots Pediatric Dentistry. Not only is the office clean and designed strategically with an interactive play area for the kids to make them comfortable, the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Most importantly the doctors at this practice are seasoned and respected professionals in their industry. Dr. Linda has magical skills with how she interacts with the kids in her chair. She's kind, interactive, and intuitive with involving the kids in the process of their appointment to put them at ease. Her use of storytelling and explaining how sugar bugs need to be handled works well with their listening skills, so they can be alert and cooperative during their visit and procedure. My two nephews (8 and 5) unfortunately had bad experiences and negligent care with their prior pediatric dentist, thus, I was so elated that we now have such diligent care, preventive education, and a solutions treatment plan for them. We're so grateful for Dr. Linda's guidance and value her professional opinion on their dental care and hygiene. Moreover, her keen insight on finding viable solutions and making the process smooth and easy. My nephews are now, motivated and excited to floss and brush correctly daily. They love using their electric toothbrush after Dr. Linda suggested this method for their treatments. They even reference her while brushing and say Dr. Linda said no sugar bugs if we do it like this and when eating treats, they're more aware of the sugar intake of what they eat and drink. Moreover, we're highly impressed with Dr. Linda's ability to put the nephews at ease when they needed oral sedation for their treatment. She has unique toys for them to calm them down in the chair and having their favorite Disney shows to distract them is a win. We were nervous to see how my 5 year old nephew would react to the chair at this new practice since he has ADHD symptoms but he was so well behaved under her care. Again, her magic skills here! From the moment you step through the office doors to the moment you leave Little Roots PD, you can rest assure that your kids are in the best care. Thank you again Dr. Linda for your expertise and customized care for all of our nephews' dental needs. They can't wait for their next appointment and of course, look forward to all the fun activities and prizes you have for them. Don't walk, run to Little Roots Pediatric Dentistry for all your pediatric dentistry needs now. read more

Just recently moved to Costa Mesa and was in the market for a new pediatric dentist. My daughters last dentist couldn't fit us in before we moved, so we needed one asap! Little Roots was able to fit us in immediately for a new patient exam and we met the lovely Dr. Linda. She was so personable and made my daughter feel welcomed. Her staff was also great and spoiled her with a gift and stickers. I'm happy to say that I have found my kiddos new dentist! read more
