Dr Kereem Husain

Dr. Kereem Husain is more than just a dentist—he’s a caring, dedicated professional who truly loves working with kids and making their dental visits a positive experience!

After earning his degree from UCLA, Dr. Kereem went on to complete his doctorate in dental surgery at USC. He then specialized in pediatric dentistry at Yale University, where he gained extensive experience working with infants, children, teens, and kids with special needs. His training included prevention, behavior management, and treating young patients under sedation. Since graduating in 2015, he has been committed to helping children build strong, healthy smiles from the very start.

Dr. Kereem’s passion for helping others started early. While at UCLA, he participated in community programs supporting those in need, and during a year abroad in Egypt, he taught English and worked with underprivileged communities. Inspired to make a difference, he chose a career in dentistry.

During his time at USC, he not only excelled academically—earning a spot on the Dean’s List every year—but also led humanitarian dental teams serving in Mexico, Honduras, Haiti, and the Middle East as the president of USC’s Humanitarian Club. He chose to specialize in pediatric dentistry because he believes in the power of early prevention and wants to make dental care a positive experience for every child.

Even with his busy schedule, Dr. Kereem continues to give back and expand his expertise. He is a Diplomate of Pediatric Dentistry and an active member of several professional organizations, including AAPD, ABPD, CDA, and ADA. He speaks English and Arabic fluently and is also learning Spanish to connect with even more families.

Dr. Kereem understands that dental visits can sometimes be intimidating for kids, so he does everything he can to make them fun and stress-free—always ending appointments with a well-earned high five! When he’s not helping little smiles shine, he loves traveling, spending time with family, and hanging out at the beach. On weekends, you might find him snorkeling, jet skiing, shooting hoops, catching the latest Marvel movie, or being the ultimate fun uncle to his nieces and nephews!
