Dr. David B. Littlefield
Prior to going into dentistry, I worked as a paramedic for six years. I went to California State University, Fresno as a Chemistry major. I graduated from Loma Linda University, School of Dentistry in 1988 with a doctorate and a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology.
I am an active member of The American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and The Academy of General Dentistry. I have earned fellowship in both the Academy of General Dentistry and the International Congress of Oral Implantologist. I also administer and volunteer at two dental clinics in Haiti as part of the World Children Relief Organization.
I have maintained a private practice in Chula Vista, Calif. since 1990. As a licensed General Dentist in California we work with our patients to achieve and maintain a beautiful smile with healthy gums and teeth. We take the time with our patients to explain their treatment options and inform them of additional preventative care to relieve their stress and anxiety.
I have made a personal commitment to always improve my knowledge, skills, and the way I deliver dental care. Since completing my Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Loma Linda University in 1988, I have gone on to receive a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, a Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and I am currently working on completing work at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Education. These experiences have given me a greater ability to enjoy my profession, and to offer you an uncompromising quality of care.
