Michael McCartney D.D.S.

Dr. Mike has a passion for working with children. He knew from his first day in dental school that kids were his biz! In 1974 Dr. Mike moved to Orange County and joined Dr. Warren Brandli in this practice which eventually became Tustin Pediatric Dentistry and the home of Dr. BEAP. Apart from his duties to his practice, Dr. Mike volunteers as a part-time clinical instructor at both the USC and UCLA graduate pediatric dental departments. He also carries the prestigious title of “Diplomate” from The American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Mike supports dentistry by volunteering in professional dental societies. He is past president of the Orange County Dental Society and the California Society of Pediatric Dentistry (CSPD). He has also served on countless committees for the CSPD, The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the Orange County Dental Society and California Dental Association. Dr. Mike has also authored a number of papers on various dental subjects which are used to further dental education and practices. In 2011 Dr. McCartney was “installed” in the American College of Dentists. This is an honor that less than 5% of dentists attain in their entire careers! For over 45 years Dr. Mike has been married to his wonderful wife, Clarene. They have two beautiful daughters, a great son-in-law and two very special grandsons. When away from the office, Dr. Mike enjoys running, fly fishing and golf. Clarene is a gourmet cook which works out great because Dr. Mike considers himself a gourmet eater.
