About David Cartago, DDS
Dr. David Cartago has over 25 years of experience as a dentist. He graduated from Centro Escolar University Dental School in the Philippines and was a dental professor at the same university for a full decade. There, he was a tenured Professor in Dental Materials and Restorative Dentistry, was a Clinical Instructor, and also took lead in the university’s dental mission projects – where him and his students travelled to different parts of the country to administer dental care to the poor. After his stint in the academic world, he continued his studies at the University of California in Los Angeles Dental School. There, he focused on both restorative dentistry and also completed a continuum on performing the more extensive root canal treatments. Dr. Cartago is known to have the most gentle touch (just read the dozens of his online reviews!) and prides himself on the painless dentistry that so many of his patients are happy to receive. However, his true passion is in the kitchen. He loves to cook cuisine from all parts of the world and couples that passion with world travel. At home, he enjoys hanging out with his two sons, Ryder and Taylor, and working on his fitness with his wife and business partner, Charmaine.
