Dr. Chris Wacker has owned Loma Linda Children’s Dental Group since 1997. His philosophy is to provide extraordinary oral healthcare to children in a trusting and educational environment, which focuses on prevention and treatment of tooth decay.

Born in Michigan, Dr. Wacker moved to California when he was a teenager. He graduated from Loma Linda Academy and completed his dental pre-requisites at Cal State San Bernardino and Pacific Union College. He then graduated from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry with his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Dr. Wacker followed his passion for treating children by completing a two year Pediatric Dental Residency at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.

Dr. Wacker is a strong believer in continuing education, and primarily focuses on caries (tooth decay) prevention in his practice. He finds it most rewarding to educate patients and their families on how to prevent tooth decay so the entire family can enjoy a lifetime of oral health.

Besides Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Wacker is also passionate about his family – wife Leanna, and daughters Danica and Makena, off-road racing, cooking, and living life to its fullest!
