If you’re all grown up now, but still act like a baby when it comes to seeing the dentist, sorry, this practice really is just for kids, little ones to teens.

Dr. Shahram Ghafghazi opened his Kids Only practice just a couple of months ago (early September) on the west side of Ambaum, just north of the Happy Garden Chinese Restaurant.

He’s been practicing general dentistry for a number of years.

Dr. Ghafghazi attended Tufts University to complete his three-year post graduate training in Pediatric Dentistry. He is a certified Diplomate of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD).

When should your child first visit a dentist? Well, the AAPD says your young one should see a dentist by his or her first birthday.

“It’s very important to maintain the health of primary teeth,” also known as baby teeth, Dr. Ghafghazi says.

“The health, or lack of health, of primary teeth can affect developing permanent teeth.”

Feel free to park on the Ambaum side of the building; then just walk up the stairs to the office’s front door on the west side of the building.

When there, you’ll also get know to Christi, the Office Manager, and Myichell, Dental Assistant.

The atmosphere at Burien Children’s Dentistry is one designed to make things as relaxed and fun for the youngsters as reasonably possible.

“Instead of using the technical term for slow speed cleaning, known as ‘prophylaxis,’” Christi says, “we tell the kids ‘We’re going to tickle your teeth now!’”

Why did Dr. Ghafghazi, also known as “Dr. G,” choose Burien?

“There really was no Kids Only practice in town,” he says.

And why did Dr. G pick pediatric dentistry as the focus of his practice?

“Because I love kids,” Dr. G says. “And besides, I’m a big kid myself!”
