She has chosen a team that holds the same beliefs and value system to ensure the entire dental experience can be pleasant and comfortable.
Giving back to the community is a must for Dr. Calleros.

In the past, she has volunteered with the South Bay Health District, where she was able to help low income children and abused women receive much needed dental work. She also donates to many different charities and participates in local fitness events that raise money for various charities. She and her team volunteered on October 22, 2010 for Maria Shriver's Modern House Call for Women in Long Beach, California. In December 2011, she and her team provided a free day of dentistry at her office for women and children from a local shelter.
Dr. Calleros understands first hand the importance of raising a healthy family. She is a proud mother of two.
