Dr. Alexander R. Alcaraz, DMD

On N Tustin—a thoroughfare where north Santa Ana bleeds into a quieter residential grid—Santa Ana keeps its pediatric dental home at one address, 999 N Tustin Ave, 92705. Child-sized tools and playful charts live under an unassuming storefront, where families drop in before the 5 freeway curls them home.

The practice is Dr. Alexander R. Alcaraz, DMD, the clinic where every check-up reads like a playdate. Baby teeth get fluoride shields; loose molars receive space maintainers. Night guards defend grinders, and sports mouthguards are hand-laminated same-day so no game skips a player. Sealants slide onto molars faster than an ice-cream truck song.

A pediatric dentist’s office feels less like a clinic once pre-school xylophones start echoing down the halls. Sport orthodontics in the drawer; tongue-tie revisions wrapped in lollipop swaddles; silver—and let’s face it, stealth—dental fillings for those first cavities. Parents scribble forms at clipboards while little stethoscopes dangle like holiday lights.

Locate the practice on the map—directions are pinned on Google Maps—and dial (714) 972-1359 if the central air starts running late or the molar chart suddenly shrinks.
