Why Choose Us
We understand the importance of finding the right person for your child’s dental care. We also understand that you have many choices for your child’s dental visits.
All pediatric dentists are competent and provide good service. The most important factors in choosing a dentist are: (1) your child’s (and your) comfort level with the provider, and (2) the ability to develop a relationship of trust.
Some children are naturally guarded, nervous of new experiences, and unable to cooperate. Because of that, even the simplest dental procedures can be difficult to achieve.
Here at Oakland Pediatric Dentistry, we treat children as if they were our own. We will always give you our honest opinion and provide you with all the information you need to make the best decision for your child.
