Services
A pediatric dentist is the pediatrician of the dental world. They are dentists who have undergone extensive specialized training in child psychology, growth and development as well as the latest techniques for treating dental problems that occur during childhood. With each developmental stage, there are numerous changes within a child's mouth.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Dr. Ching went to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. He completed his dental education at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Ching then completed his specialty training in pediatric dentistry at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he was also appointed Chief Resident at Boston Children's Hospital.
Monica has been working in the dental field for over 15 years. Since joining the practice in 2017, she has enjoyed working alongside Dr. Nick and with our team to make sure every family leaves with a smile. On the weekends Monica loves to spend quality time with her husband Ed and three children: Prince, Edward "Jr.", and Brooklyn!
We understand that oral health is an inseparable part of a child's overall health and welfare. Thus, our preschool prevention program has been teaching children about good oral habits for nearly 40 years. As a gift to the community, Dr. Ching continues the Happy Smiles Program for preschools, elementary schools, parent groups, and career days.
You can help prevent tooth decay by scheduling your child's first visit within 6 months of his/her first tooth coming in. Why? Unfortunately, the research shows that more than half of the children who are not seen until two or three years of age develop cavities. You can prevent this from happening by coming in soon after the first tooth for a "well baby dental examination".

Love them! Everyone is so patient and kind. My daughter had a dental procedure when she was 2 and I was so nervous about it and putting her under anesthesia, But Dr. Nicholas Ching and the staff were very reassuring and did such a great job! My daughter was also a kicker and screamer when she was younger and everyone was always so patient and sweet with her! Hands down, best children's dentistry :)

Excellent service! Today My kids had their first visit with Dr. Ching. We had a great experience since the moment we arrived. The receptionist was kind and had a good demeanor. The doctor and his assistants went above and beyond with their service. Dr. Ching explained everything to me for future procedures and he was very thorough.

Dr Ching is spectacular with children and parents. He's proactive and he is very honest and isn't like other local kids dentists trying to sell you up on services. He wants the beat for your kids and his staff is patient kind and courteous. All about the kids. And he is a great planner that explains things easily to kids and parents. They take all insurances and are very respectful.

My daughter had her first dental appointment at 18 months. The staff and Dr Nick made her feel very comfortable. I appreciated all the dental hygiene information as a first time parent. Dr Nick answered all my questions and was very thorough in his explanations. He had a really great energy. I felt very safe with the COVID precautions the office is taking. I am very happy for her to continue her dental care here.

We have been going to Dr. Nick's since my son was about 3 years old (about 2 years now) and we can't recommend him and his dental practice enough! He is warm, good with kids, and has an awesome office and staff. Icing on the cake is the awesome toys they give the kids after each visit. My son always looks forward to going to the dentist and leaves happy. What more can you ask for! I highly recommend Children's Dentistry!

I only have great things to say about them. It probably cannot be much better. The staff wear heavy duty masks for everyone's safety and it makes it very difficult to hear. The doctor talks very loudly and clearly. The hygienist was difficult to understand mainly because of the mask but he was very kind. You cannot go wrong by going there.

Well organized and efficient. COVID-19 precautions are done carefully and well. Felt comfortable throughout the visit. What I appreciated the most was how
knowledgable and friendly the dentist was and how he communicated a lot of info about my child's teeth. I learned more details about her teeth during this visit than from multiple visits from our prior dentist. Happy with our new dentist and have already scheduled our next visit!

This place is great. We took my son here the first time for required pre 1st grade teeth check.
They have good hours and are friendly. They are great with children with a welcoming waiting room. Tvs playing kids movies, toys everywhere, a doctor that is great with kids.
My son has since returned several times for two cavities and to have two milk teeth removed as his adult teeth were coming in strong. Hopefully his teeth will push forward!
They are professional and wonderful with kids.

What kid loves visits to the dentist? MINE! This place is amazing... from the staff, to the facility, to the dentist himself, Dr. Ching!
I was really nervous 6 months ago when looking for the perfect place for my then 3.5 year old. I searched on Yelp for several days and after reading, what's seemed like hundreds of reviews, I went with Children's Dentistry and it was the best decision I made! On our first visit my son was a little scared in the beginning but everyone was so warm and gentle with him that he felt comfortable and was able to get his teeth checked and cleaned with no problem
