Meet Verock Ky, DDS
Children's Dentist in Carson, CA
Where did Dr. Ky go to dental school?
Dr. Ky earned her dental degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC in Los Angeles. She is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association, and the Harbor Dental Society.
What ages does Dr. Ky treat?
Dr. Ky treats patients from age 0 through age 20, from a first tooth through the college years. Infant exams, toddler visits, school-age checkups, and teen dental care all happen in the same office, so families are not sent elsewhere as their children grow.
Does Tooth Fairy Dental accept Denti-Cal?
Yes. Tooth Fairy Dental is in-network with Denti-Cal and also accepts PPO plans. Parents can call (562) 512-5800 to confirm their child’s coverage before the first visit.
What happens at a child’s first dental visit?
A first visit starts with introductions, not instruments. Dr. Ky shows the child each tool and explains what it does before any care begins. The visit includes a gentle exam, an age-appropriate cleaning, and time for parents to ask about brushing, diet, and what to expect as teeth come in.
What if my child is nervous about the dentist?
Dr. Ky begins by learning what is causing the fear, then works at the child’s pace, giving them time to voice concerns and get comfortable before treatment starts. For children who need more help relaxing, the office offers nitrous oxide. Dr. Ky also holds oral conscious sedation certifications from the Dental Board of California, allowing her to offer oral sedation to patients ages 7 and older.
Why did Dr. Ky open a dental practice for children?
Dr. Ky came to the United States as a refugee at age eight. Her family knew little about healthcare, and dental care was not a priority in her childhood. Dental school taught her how closely oral health connects to overall health, and she opened Tooth Fairy Dental to give Carson families the education her own family never had, starting when children are young.
