Children's dental care along San Pedro's central streets

West 7th Street and Pacific Avenue have dental services for San Pedro children. These central addresses offer different trips from the offices along Western Avenue. When choosing a San Pedro dentist, compare the child's care and dental plan along with the location.

A child dental membership with fees by age

Groat Pediatric Dentistry posts $576 a year for ages 1-13 and $624 for ages 14 and older. Its Healthy Smiles Club includes 2 exams, 2 cleanings, annual X-rays, 2 fluoride treatments and an emergency exam with 1 X-ray.

The annual option waives the sign-up fee. The plan gives 15% off further treatment, with possible exclusions, and can't be combined with insurance. Reach Groat's team at 310-731-1227 for care at 1350 West 7th Street, Suite B.

Low-income dental care at the West 8th Street center

Frances J. Johnson Dental Center lists $20 per procedure for low-income patients without insurance. The center states that it treats ages 1-24 and takes Medi-Cal Dental.

Its services include exams, fillings, tooth removal, X-rays and orthodontic care. Reach the dental team at 310-832-5295 for the center at 1441 West 8th Street.

Spanish is spoken there. The West 8th Street dental team works Tuesday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. A family needing braces can discuss the child's bite and payment route with the team.

Family dental treatment and dentures on Pacific Avenue

Harbor Community Health Centers provides dental care for children and adults at 425 South Pacific Avenue. Call 310-547-0202. Care includes fillings, simple tooth removal, partials, dentures and emergency exams. Uninsured patients can be reviewed for a discount using income and household size.

For a parent needing gum care or root-canal treatment, Medi-Cal's benefits also include those kinds of care under its service rules. The dentist can review what is needed and any approval. San Pedro members can have fee-for-service Medi-Cal Dental or an optional Los Angeles County dental plan.

Helping a San Pedro child with sensory or mobility needs

Groat's special-needs care includes changes for sound, light and mobility needs. Its practice describes care for children with autism, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. A child's dental visit can be planned around those needs. Sedation choices depend on the child's health and the work required.

For orthodontic care, Medi-Cal needs a qualifying medical reason and approval. Changing tooth appearance alone won't establish that need. Share the child's health needs with the orthodontist as well.

A missing tooth and the cost of care after retirement

11 San Pedro offices list dental implants. The implant and replacement tooth are parts to include in a full treatment estimate. Compare implant treatment with removable teeth and any care the gums need first.

Original Medicare usually leaves patients to pay for dentures and implants. It has limited dental benefits when work is linked to covered medical treatment. A plan for changes to tooth appearance also needs its own cost review.

Dental pain near San Pedro's hospital corridor

HarborCHC lists emergency dental exams at its Pacific Avenue service. Describe the pain or broken tooth and discuss the first visit's fee. For urgent dental treatment, the exam helps establish the work needed.

Call 911 for a life-threatening emergency. Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center San Pedro is at 1300 West 7th Street. Its emergency care is for medical needs; treatment of the tooth itself needs a dentist.

DASH trips between Western, Gaffey and southern San Pedro

DASH San Pedro runs every day, including holidays. The route links Park Western Plaza, 1st and Gaffey, Alma and 19th, and 25th and Western. Weekday service is listed at 30-minute intervals. Use the stop and return times for the office you plan to visit.

Harbor City, Wilmington and Lomita add choices north and northeast. Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills Estates extend the peninsula search. Torrance and Long Beach can add specialist options when the return trips work for your family.
