Pediatric dentistry (formerly Pedodontics/Paedodontics) primarily focuses on children from birth through adolescence. The American Dental Association (ADA), recognizes pediatric dentistry as a specialty, and therefore requires dentists to undertake two or three years of additional training after completing a general dentistry degree.
A wide range of psychological, physiological, and physical factors may lead children to brux. In particular, jaw misalignment (bad bite), stress, and traumatic brain injury are all thought to contribute to bruxism, although grinding can also occur as a side effect of certain medications. In general, parents can usually hear intense grinding - especially when it occurs at nighttime.

Best Dentist for your kiddos in Santa Cruz.
Dr. Seth and his staff are always welcoming and make the trip to the dentist is as comfortable and fun as possible. They explain each step they are going to take so their are no surprises. The office is clean and has state of the art equipment. They have TVs on the ceilings to keep the kids happy and distracted while the cleanings are done. They also offer a discounted rate if you don't have insurance but plan on doing 2 cleaning and x-rays.

This place is great! Very attentive, caring, patient, reasonable, and kind. Very clean and puts extra effort into the prevention of Covid-19. I fully trust Dr. Reder and staff and won't be going anywhere else. Their team is wonderful with small kids and babies. I trust Dr. Reder and his professional opinions and follow his guidelines in oral health care.

Today we had a very wonderful visit to Dr Seth and his incredible staff. My daughter is almost 10 and was very scared about her two teeth being extracted today. They were patient, gave her the space she needed and although tears were shed she felt supported and was allowed to process her emotions as well as to understand what needed to be done.
Huge shout out to Monica and Dr Seth.

Dr. Seth and his staff are amazing! I’ve been taking my son to them for years. He started off so scared of the dentist and is so much better. Dr. Seth always answers all his questions and makes him feel as comfortable as possible. The hygienists and all other staff are great! Monica at the front is superb! We have a little baby and he will be starting his adventure with Dr. Seth and staff soon!

I HIGHLY recommend Capitola Kids Dentistry!

We absolutely love Dr. Reder and his staff! My three kids (now 5, 8, and 11) have been seeing them for about 4 years and they love going to the dentist. Dr. Reder always is so personable with my kids, instantly making them feel comfortable. His staff are the same! He always has my family's best interest at heart... which has not been my experience with past dentists. You can tell he actually cares about each kid and what is the right fit for them. His approach is gentle and non-invasive with at the same time being very thorough and effective. The hygienists are friendly, skilled and put my

FABULOUS experience. I think that I was more nervous than my 3yo! However, from the moment we walked in, I knew everything would be fine. The front desk girls were adorable, kind and friendly to my son and he was instantly at ease. Dr. Seth couldn't have been more amazing. He obviously loves what he does, practices what he preaches (he was so human about his own kiddos!) and was incredibly knowledgeable. As a physician I truly appreciated all of the info from "ok" snacks to how to floss to how to prevent issues down the line. The man gives you his cell phone number !? If that doesn

Just took my daughter in for her first visit at age 2.5. This place is awesome! I would give more stars if I could. All the staff members are very friendly, energetic, and kind. Dr. Reder was silly and playful (in a very approachable, professional way) with my daughter. It was clear to me that he was prepared for the visit and took the time to read the pre-appointment medical info that I filled out online. He was extremely informative and really fosters a shared-decision making approach to care. After the visit, my daughter said, "I like Dr. Seth." We are forever patients and will be

Super friendly and knowledgeable dental and reception staff, I think both staff members that helped me and my five year old today were named Michelle and they were awesome! Dr. Reder is super smart and personable with the kids, parents, and staff members which is so hard to find nowadays. The practice accepted my dental insurance as was even in-network! During checkout the front desk Michelle was able easily able to find a follow up appointment and ensured that our insurance was billed for today's services and that they all seemed to be covered by my plan.

Hands down the best dentist ever for my kids, I only wish he'd be my dentist too!
My son just gracefully went through two back molar fillings at the age of just 4, and my son went through it almost uniphase because of Dr. Reder and his assistant's amazing care and fun attitude. I will always recommend this place.
