Services
We recognize that all of our young patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your child to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Invisalign First clear aligner treatment is a type of Phase One treatment in growing children. It aligns the teeth while expanding the arches and making room for existing teeth and incoming permanent teeth. Invisalign First treatment starts with a simple scan or impressions. From there, every step of your child's plan is digitally plotted, so you know what to expect.
Dr. Jacqueline Nguyen, or Dr. Jackie, completed her undergraduate and dental graduate studies at the University of the Pacific. She went on to complete a year of advanced dental training in Fresno, CA serving both Community Regional Medical Center and VA Central California hospitals. Realizing her love for working with children, she completed pediatric residency at NYU Lutheran in Hawaii.
Dr. Jennifer Lo, Dr. Jacqueline Nguyen, and our Little Bristles team are proud of our family-oriented and kid-friendly practice. We promise that your child will be welcomed with warmth and cared for with respect, compassion, and kindness! We have served the Salinas area since 2012, building a solid reputation and growing by referrals from our patients and their families.
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to children's needs and it is our goal to make your child feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.

It's sad to see that good pediatric care has been lost to maximize insurance cost. Fancy equipment doesn't translate to better service.
The dental hygienist took less time to complete a dental cleaning than what my six year old takes to brush her teeth in a lazy day. My daughter even expressed that her teeth didn't feel clean. Go figure... Also, the provider took 30 seconds on the periodic exam charging $83 just to confirm that pediatric care is not in there interest.
Hope 2022 can be a better year in customer service.
p.s. I am still waiting for the x-rays via email that the front office was

She always treats us like family 👪 ❤

My family is proud to say we have been going to Little Bristles for about 7 years now! Starting with my daughter (9) and now my son (3)..both have been so comfortable and excited to go to the dentist. We plan on taking our youngest there when it is his time. The staff and doctors are so patient and accommodating. Even throughout the epidemic! Hands down best choice for your child’s dentist!

It was my son's first time at the dentist and Little Bristles was so welcoming. Staff made the process so easy and pain free. I love that the facility is so modern and my son enjoyed watching his favorite show while being in the hot seat. Overall a great experience. Can't wait for the next visit.

Two of my younger children are diagnosed with Autism. The youngest is 7 and is considered moderately/severely affected even though he has verbal skills. This office has been amazing at accommodating his sensory needs and take their time with him. The entire staff goes above and beyond to help him feel confident and relaxed by speaking to him in a soft calm voice and Dr. Jackie and Dr. Lo are great working with my kids!
