Kids dentist · UCLA trained · Practising over five years
Dr. Joshua Kohan earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at UCLA and has spent his career treating children exclusively — from infants at a first visit through to teenagers finishing orthodontic treatment.
He follows the age-based guidance of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, including a first dental visit by age one, and the American Association of Orthodontists recommendation of an orthodontic evaluation around age seven.
Born and raised in California, Dr. Kohan chose children’s dentistry because the habits and attitudes formed in childhood shape a person’s dental health for life. Dr. Kohan is a licensed general dentist in California (license #105573) whose practice is dedicated to children and teens. He is not a board-certified pediatric dental or orthodontic specialist. A child who leaves a first appointment willing to come back is worth more than a completed treatment plan.
Two things come up repeatedly in patient reviews: that he is patient with anxious children, and that he does not over-diagnose. Both follow from the same principle — when a tooth only needs watching, he says so.
As a father of two, he understands the practical side that parents actually deal with — a toddler who will not open their mouth, a teenager who forgets their aligners, the worry when a tooth gets knocked out at a weekend game. Appointments are planned around that reality rather than an idealised version of it.
For children who find dental visits genuinely difficult, including those with sensory or developmental differences, he offers adapted appointments and comfort-focused options where clinically appropriate.
Behind Dr. Kohan is a small front-desk and clinical team that families see at every visit — the same faces each time, which matters more with children than most people expect. They handle insurance verification before you arrive, explain what is covered, and are the ones who find room in the day when a child is in pain.
Several reviews single out the team rather than the treatment, which is usually the clearest sign a practice is working the way it should.
