Kids love us!

The fun begins as soon as you arrive. Children are greeted by name, and there’s plenty to do in our office play areas. You can even work via wireless Internet access while we care for your child. Your child will be seen by one of our expert dentists or orthodontists. We’ll explain what’s going to happen every step of the way.

Building beautiful smiles – and motivating children to take good care of their teeth – is an important part of pediatric dentistry. We give kids the encouragement they need to learn healthy habits that will protect their smiles for years to come.

Why pediatric dentistry?

Just as a pediatrician specializes in children’s health, pediatric dentistry practitioners are experts in the growth and development of children’s mouths. They can spot problems such as early decay or crowded teeth – and correct them – before they do major damage. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry suggests your child’s first dental visit should occur by age 1. Our dentists know as much about kids as they do about kids dentistry. They undergo extensive training in child development and child psychology, which means they can ease kids’ fears about dentists and make visiting the dentist a fun, positive experience.

The specialized care we offer here at Bay Area Smiles can make a big difference in the way your child feels about going to the dentist. That can have a major impact on the way they care for their own teeth! We are committed to helping kids learn how to properly care for their teeth and develop the good brushing habits that get their smiles started out right. Because your child deserves great dentistry delivered with today’s best techniques and equipment, our dentists are committed to keeping their capabilities up-to-date. Our dentists’ many extra hours in continuing-education courses annually means you can trust us with your family’s most precious smiles.

No reason to fear the dentist!

For those children who may be extremely anxious about their dental visits or treatment, our dentists are specially trained in sedation dentistry. This means that your child will not experience the discomfort of any procedure and many times all their dental needs can be completed in one visit.
