Is your office child-friendly?
Absolutely. Our pediatric dental team creates a welcoming, comfortable environment for children of all ages. We take time to explain procedures in kid-friendly language, and for children with dental anxiety or special needs, we offer sedation dentistry options to ensure a stress-free experience.
When should my child first see a dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling the first visit by age one or within six months of the first tooth erupting.
How often should children visit the dentist?
Most children should have a checkup every six months for preventive care and growth monitoring.
Do baby teeth really need fillings?
Yes. Untreated decay in baby teeth can cause pain, infections, and misalignment of permanent teeth.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
Our gentle approach and available sedation options help anxious children feel safe and relaxed.
Does insurance cover children’s dentistry?
Most PPO plans and Medi-Cal/Denti-Cal cover pediatric services. We also provide financing options for families.
