Caring Dentist for Kids in the Fair Oaks Area

A pediatric dentist is especially attuned to the needs of kids. At Sun Oaks Dental of Fair Oaks, we want our youngest patients to feel at ease at the kids’ dentist. We use language that explains what we do simply and clearly. As your children’s dentist, we take each child step by step through a good home care routine to make more checkups great checkups. Primary teeth start coming in at around 12 months of age, and keep coming until the child is around 3 years old. We believe lifelong oral health starts in these early years. An excellent dentist for kids strives to build trust and confidence from the first stages of tooth development. We keep our commitment through the emergence of the secondary or permanent teeth, including the wisdom teeth. Goals of effective pediatric dentistry include:



• Creating a fun and inviting environment for young patients
  
• Being available during convenient appointment hours, as well as for emergencies
  
• Providing fluoride treatments and tooth sealants as needed
  
• Providing education for cavity prevention
  
• Appropriate sedation, when required
• Sensitivity to and professional training with special needs patients
