Dr. Mo Khaknegar (“Dr. Mo”) has been helping children put their best smile forward for over ten years. As an active dentist in his community, he spends time in the clinic as well as traveling around the local schools to encourage healthy habits in young students. His motivation to enter the field started at a young age as a result of his own experience at the dentist. For Dr. Mo, the dentist was always a place of fear and anxiety which is why his main goal became to provide a safe and comfortable environment for not only the patient, but for the parent/caregiver as well. 

 

Dr. Mo got his start in children’s dentistry as a USC Mobile Clinic volunteer for two years prior to his acceptance into the USC School of Dentistry. He traveled with the clinic providing comprehensive dental care to low-income children in local area elementary schools. The program cared for more than 10,000 children each year, some who had never seen a dentist before.

 

With the same passion and vision as from the start, Dr. Mo is committed to providing each child a unique experience which will motivate them to maintain and improve their at home self-care skills. The goal is to be cavity free…on their own.
