Yasser Sadek, DDS
General dentist — practice limited to dentistry for children
Dr. Sadek is a USC-trained general dentist who has practiced dentistry in California since 1995. He has extensive training and experience in dentistry for children, root canal treatment, dental implants, and orthodontic care. These describe areas of training and experience within his general dentistry background; they do not represent specialist credentials.
At Palmdale Children’s Dental, his practice is limited to dentistry for children. His approach emphasizes understanding each child’s emotions, communicating in an age-appropriate way, and adapting dental care to help children feel comfortable and involved.
Dr. Sadek is the author of A Bug Named Yuk, a children’s book about dental health. He uses conversation and education to help children understand their teeth and develop confidence at the dental office.
Additional training and experience
Earlier in his career, Dr. Sadek’s general dental practice in Merced focused on root canal treatment and received referrals from communities across the Central Valley. He later furthered his training in surgical implant placement under a local oral surgeon and worked part-time in an orthodontic practice for a year. These experiences broadened his knowledge of root canal treatment, implants, tooth alignment, and comprehensive dental care.
His professional background also includes service as treasurer, vice president, and president of the Yosemite Dental Society. His community involvement has included local Head Start programs, youth athletics, police department events, and veterans’ activities.
Every child’s care is based on an individual examination. Dr. Sadek discusses treatment options with parents and arranges referral when a child’s needs call for care outside the practice.
