Pediatric dentistry is an age-defined specialty that provides both preventive and therapeutic dental care for infants, children and adolescents. What is a Pediatric Dentist? Pediatric dentists are the pediatricians of dentistry. After completing dental school, we are further trained for the unique dental health needs of children.
We enjoy visiting with children to teach them about good nutrition, proper brushing and flossing techniques and familiarize them with what they may expect when they visit the dentist. Children's Dental Office and Orthodontics offers a fun, interactive and engaging program! We encourage student participation and provide each student with a "Goodie Bag" of educational materials.
We strive to make each and every visit to our office a positive experience! Whether this is your child's first visit to a dentist or this is your first visit in our office, it is important that your child feel comfortable and begin developing a trusting rapport with Dr. Rob and our staff. The first visit is designed to gain your child's confidence and trust.

I have a 6 year old with a very painful tooth. Got an appointment with peninsula pediatric dentistry middle of July.
Here we are, Middle of September and between the appointment being made and the actual appointment the tooth that an appointment was made for got an emergency extraction.
Now a 2nd tooth needs extracted, so we kept our appointment and low and behold it's finally here. This tooth is going to be pulled out today and the pain will be over...so we thought. Upon arriving at the dentist office the usual, mask, forehead scan etc.
I respect that due to the nature of the world today.

They were very kind, very knowledgeable, very patient and flexible with working with my kiddos! They made adjustments with their routine, and with their equipment to accommodate my youngest (5) so that she was comfortable and they were still able to get what they needed. Also, their office and goodies were very child friendly and I was overall very impressed!
