Dr. J. Shahangian, DDS, MS, CLEC, FAAPD

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. J. Shahangian as a top pediatric dentist in San Diego because of his specialty training, his board certification, and his teaching role. He earned an honors degree in Molecular Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and his DDS with honors from UCLA. He then finished a three-year pediatric dentistry residency at the University of North Carolina and served as Chief Resident. He is board certified in pediatric dentistry and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. That training shows in how carefully his office plans care for each age.

What we like most about Dr. Shahangian is his focus on the very youngest patients. As a Certified Lactation Educator Counselor, he offers breastfeeding support alongside infant dental care at Scripps Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. The office also runs a teen dental clinic and offers Invisalign, clear braces, laser dentistry, and 3D imaging. He holds staff privileges at Rady Children’s Hospital and teaches on the UCLA pediatric dentistry faculty. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. J. Shahangian among the top three pediatric dentists in San Diego.
