Our practice is dedicated to treating the dental needs of children of all ages in a kind and caring manner. At Rumack Harmer Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that kids CAN have fun at the dentist!

We feel that if children can have fun while developing a positive dental attitude, they will more likely have good oral health for the rest of their lives! We are now open! We are so excited to welcome you back to our office! Our community has been through a lot over the last few months, and all of us are looking forward to resuming our normal habits and routines.

While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety. Our office is located in beautiful Old Town Calabasas, next to the famous "Calabasas Commons".
