We have thoughtfully designed our office and treatment rooms to create a welcoming and safe environment for children. Our goal is to make every visit a positive experience, so we’ve incorporated TVs with a variety of parent-approved channels to keep kids entertained while we attend to their dental needs.
Our treatments are carefully planned to take into account not only the child’s dental needs but also their behavioral aspects. We tailor our recommendations based on each child's age, ability to cooperate, and the extent of dental care required.
With over 15 years of experience, both Dr. Dabir and Dr. Cuisia have built a reputation for providing excellent care to children and adolescents. They are fully qualified and licensed to offer sedation options, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation, for children who may need assistance in relaxing during their dental procedures.

She moved to the US for college and has stayed put ever since! After completing college at Johns Hopkins University, where she studied molecular and cellular biology, she completed dental school at The University of Pennsylvania.
Dr Sabrina always gravitated towards roles where she got to work with kids, so naturally she fell in love with pediatric dentistry! She became a pediatric dental specialist after completing her residency at The University of Rochester in upstate New York. She then swiftly traded in her snow boots for some flip flops to move to San Diego and has been loving it ever since!

Dr. Dabir is hands-on, kind, listens & collaborates well with his patients & parents. His team always seem to enjoy their work environment. My kid has fairly high anxiety about dental visits & Dr. Dabir & his team are so gentle and ALWAYS review the chart before to anticipate the needs. We've been going for 10 years & would not go anywhere else. I'm so grateful for the professionalism, team effort & thoughtful service.

I was so impressed incredibly impressed by Dr. Dabir and his whole office. Dr. Dabir was quickly able to identify the what had been causing my babys inability to properly feed. Yet he said he believes in being conservative before doing any procedure and since my son is four months old already he wants to make absolutely sure it is worth it before proceeding.
He came up with a spectacular plan including a referral to an oral function specialist who will come to my house and watch him breastfeed and give her recommendation on how big of an effect the lip tie is having. He was also incredibly kind and patient and walked us through each step of his thought process. Phenomenal manner with babies too. I wish all doctors were as caring and thorough as Dr. Dabir!

If I could give more stars I would. We just moved here and needed a dentist who had a special touch for our son. And wow I am blown away. From the minute you walk in the door you are welcomed. Then Taylor who cleaned and did my sons X-rays needs an award. Not only did she make him feel comfortable but she walked him through step by step on everything she did. Dr Dabir comes and is also great!
At the end my son said this place is better than my last dentist! That alone is saying alot! He loved his last dentist and now he loves Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! Especially Taylor who we will see from now on! Thank you Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! Taylor you are beyond amazing! You made my day! Thank you!

My children have been seeing Dr Dabir for many years now. When we first came here my son was very young and had a lot of anxiety during medical procedures. He needed to have several cavities filled, and some silver crowns. Dr Dabir was extremely patient and understanding with him, and made accommodations to help get him taken care of.

Ive been coming here since my youngest was 1. He is almost 5 now. He had to have his front tooth removed around age 2 due to an injury that turned into infection. I appreciated that the dentist was on top of it and didnt allow it to go unnoticed. The dentists and staff are all so kind and patient. Ive been so impressed by their professionalism but also their general kindness with now both my children. Highly recommend coming here!

We found Carlsbad Children's Dentistry while searching for a dentist to see our son with special needs, and we are so glad we did! Staff are all super friendly and great with kids. They go above and beyond to help all children feel welcome and happy, even if that takes extra time. We drive 40 mins just to bring our kids here because we love it so much!

Wow, wow, wow. I researched a ton in advance for my toddlers very first appointment bc he has some sensory sensitivity, and I was nervous he would not handle the dentist well at all. I booked with them bc they had great reviews, and now I see why. My husband and I both left with pure amazement in how well they handle little ones. They make sure theyre comfortable, they play with the instruments, letting the kids see so theres no surprise when they try to clean.
They dont push anything a kid or parent isnt feeling, and accommodate to the extreme. They keep them distracted with prizes, stickers and make the kids feel accomplished after each task. I couldnt recommend enough. It was well worth the longer drive it took for us to go to this location.

Weve been coming here for years and have always had consistently great experiences. The hygenists are all very patient with our autistic son, who isnt always super cooperative when it comes to his cleaning, with all the noise and vibrations. Theyve gone above and beyond to accommodate him when hes had to have more extensive procedures done as well. Would highly recommend Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry and Dr. Dabir!

This was my daughters first dentist visit ever and the staff were very kind. My daughter was uncomfortable but the assistant and doctor made her feel welcome and she quickly started to feel in a safe place. She was given prizes even before she was checked. Doctors explained everything that was going to happen before doing. As parents, we loved to see our children well treated and this place does just that! Definitely recommend, place is well cleaned and around fun activities for your kids after their appointments!

Ive been taking my two little kids to Dr. Dabir for 3 years and even have had one procedure done. He is amazing with kids and so is the rest of the team which has been the same since we started seeing him. My kids actually look forward to going to the dentist! They engage the kids with sticker games whilst doing check ups. They also play movies on the ceiling to keep the bigger kids entertained.

My 8 yo grandniece broke her permanent lower incisor and Dr. Dabir restored it amazingly. It was a perfect experience for my visiting grandniece from the Philippines, she was very comfortable. All his staff are very nice, friendly and professional. Thank you very much Dr. Dabir, you made her smile back again and now she can enjoy her favorite foods here in the US and no more tears. God bless you all

I love Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry! The staff is fun, welcoming and efficient. They have little touches throughout the entire appointment that makes the kids feel special. The technician walks your child through each step of the cleaning and X-ray process so theres no surprises and the child feels like theyre apart of the process. Dr. Dibar is lovely and takes the time to review the X-rays and answer all questions. Its such a happy place - my daughter looks forward to every visit!

Love Dr. Dabir and his staff. Always go out of their way to make a shy 4 year old feel extra comfortable. Time during routine checkups never feel rushed with Dr. Dabir as he makes plenty of time to answer any questions and make sure everything is in good order. Honestly wish my adult dentist was as thorough as Carlsbad Childrens Dentistry.

I absolutely love this place for my son. Weve been coming here for quite a few years. My son needed to go under anesthesia for fillings and I was worried but they did an excellent job at keeping me calm and walking me through the process. Most importantly, Dr. Dabir did an amazing job with my sons teeth! Ive been coming here ever since and my son leaves so happy everytime! Now he loves coming every 6 months :

My boys (2) absolutely LOVE Dr Dabir. If I could go to him, I would. He is funny, incredibly sweet, straight to the point, and makes procedures simple and painless. His staff is remarkable, they are efficient, educated, and makes teeth cleaning pleasurable! I highly recommend Dr Dabir! He has the newest procedures, explains everything, and does not leave information out.

Update: Our six year old is almost 11 and we appreciate this wonderful office more today then five years ago when I wrote my first review. Check them out! We love this dental office (if that is possible)! They are consistently kind and friendly. They engage my children and make this a fun experience! I literally heard my six year old son say, "I love that dentist office" on our drive there yesterday afternoon! Dr. Dabir makes sure I understand what is going on with my childrens teeth today and what to look for in the future as new teeth grow in. I appreciate their wonderful care!

I live in San Diego and have been going to Dr. Debri in Carlsbad for almost 10 years. My kids will not go anywhere else for treatment. Super friendly, clean environment. Dr. Debri is very patient, friendly and informational. He takes his time with his patients till they are comfortable and does not do things that are not needed just to get more money

Dr. Dabir has been my kid's dentist for the past decade, and I can't speak highly enough about our experience. We found Dr. Dabir to be calm, patient, and very good. Aside from the normal cleanings and fillings, he navigated us through multiple tooth pullings for orthodontics, and what could have been frightening became just another visit. The offices are bright, clean, and kid friendly, including televisions on the ceilings. My kids are adults now, so we're moving to another dentist, but I will always be grateful for the service that Dr. Dabir provided.

This office almost had me in tears, good tears to be clear, during my kids visits today. Our 6 y/o has mod/severe autism with an intellectual disability. Both the hygienist Lauren and Dr. Dabir were fantastic at being super patient and making him as comfortable as possible by being playful with the instruments. My son did briefly let them go in his mouth before we had to try an alternative to get a better look. Re my 2y/o, they had the same patience with him and had spoiled him with so many toys and stickers that he was very comfortable and cooperative.
There was no push for unnecessary treatment. The facility was clean. Dr. Dabir has privileges at Radys if there is ever the need for anesthesia. I believe they only take PPO. 10/10. Will be recommending this office to friends.
