The primary factor that distinguishes Adventure Dental and Orthodontics is education. Many dentists who treat children are not trained as specialists, and many specialists are not board certified. Dr. Monti and Dr. Pepper both earned their undergraduate degrees from UCLA, and they both attended the UCLA School of Dentistry. After dental school, they both completed their residency through the Harvard School of Dental Medicine at Boston Childrens Hospital. Finally, they took their training one step further and became Diplomates of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. As such, our dentists are highly skilled and can effectively treat all your childs dental problems.
We are committed to improving not just the health of our patients, but the experience of our patients as well. Transforming a childs perception of the dentist from one of fear or anxiety to one of joy and excitement is the best thing about being a pediatric dentist. When we see our patients at a restaurant, the grocery store, or the ball field, and they are happy to see us, we know that we have made a difference for a child.
We see more children in a day than a general dentist will see in a week or even a month. Our dental team is familiar with the wide range of child behavior and we are able to tailor every visit to each childs individual needs to best serve them. This allows us to make each visit fun and relaxed. Contact our pediatric dentists and orthodontist in Santa Clarita and find out how we can help your child today!

A native of Southern California, Dr. Pepper graduated from UCLA in 2003 with an undergraduate degree in Physiological Sciences. She loved UCLA so much that it is where she chose to earn her dental degree. Somehow tired of the sunshine and warm weather, Dr. Pepper next moved to Boston, where she completed her pediatric dental residency at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Because Dr. Pepper always wanted to serve her hometown community and be close to family and friends, she happily returned to the Antelope Valley.

First and foremost is patient care, and everything else is secondary. My goal is to provide uncompromising care, while still having the patient feel comfortable and confident. I believe this goal can be reached through open communication and active discussion.

The best way to ensure your child has healthy teeth and gums in their adolescent and adult life is to have them develop healthy oral care habits as soon as possible. By educating them on the importance of brushing and flossing regularly and properly, your child will be able to help prevent dental problems later in life. You should also consider their diet and try to give them healthy and balanced meals. Avoid overly processed foods that are high in artificial sugars and try to stick with fruits, vegetables, cheese, and other low-sugar foods as snacks. Ask a knowledgeable pediatric dentist in Santa Clarita about the most effective ways to improve and maintain your childs oral health.
