Children's Dentistry Sunnyvale, CA

At Spruce Dental, we love working with children! We are pleased to play a part in helping them develop positive oral habits, and our amazing dental team does everything to ensure they have comfortable, happy experiences with us.

Dr. Neri Lubomirsky and Dr. Donald Call are very easygoing and friendly, and their years of experience have shown them that young children respond best to a patient, caring approach. 

Your Child’s First Dental Visit

We welcome children for their first dental visit with us starting at age four. They typically have all their baby teeth at this age, and protecting them with preventive care is crucial for a lifelong healthy smile.

When we meet a child for the first time, we let them get comfortable with all the new faces and the new environment. Soon, they’ll feel safe and secure with us, and we’ll provide exams and teeth cleanings every six months to help them maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Children don’t get their first permanent teeth until age six or seven, and until then, it’s crucial to protect baby teeth from cavities. Even though baby teeth eventually come out, they act as placeholders for adult teeth. If they lose one too soon to decay, surrounding teeth start to drift and close the space meant for the permanent tooth.

Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings

Preventive dentistry for children includes dental exams and cleanings every six months. These appointments allow our dentists in Sunnyvale to catch cavities when they’re tiny and before they threaten the tooth. If we need to fill a tooth, we use BPA-free composite resin.

Dental Sealants Protect Teeth from Cavities

A dental sealant is a thin coating of plastic that we bond to molars and pre-molars with deep pits and fissures where bacteria collect. The sealant acts as a barrier to prevent cavities from developing, and we apply them to baby teeth to protect them.

Fluoride Applications Strengthen Teeth

Fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel teeth as they develop. It also protects teeth from cavities by minimizing damage caused by acid created by bacteria in the mouth. 

Sports Mouthguards Protect Your Child's Precious Smile

Kids are active, and dental injuries like chipped or broken teeth are common in childhood. You can't always prevent these types of accidents, but if your child participates in sports, we highly recommend investing in a custom sports mouthguard.

At Spruce Dental, we use impressions of your child’s teeth to create a sturdy mouthguard that fits perfectly to protect teeth from damage.
