Welcome to the office of Big Tooth and Little Tooth! We are excited to get to know the families of our community and help their children on their transition from their little teeth to their big teeth and beyond! We hope you have a positive experience while having a bit of fun. Dr. Kristen and Dr. Ben practice with the belief that the experiences and lessons learned by a child will follow them throughout their lives.
With this in mind we hope to promote optimum oral health by teaching and showing children and their families so that they may continue to encourage each other to be healthy at home. Our goal is to focus on preventative measures and provide anticipatory guidance so our families can transition into adulthood with a positive outlook of their dental health.

Ben enjoys seeing the kids with a smile on their face, even at the dentist! He hopes to provide an environment where the kid's feel relaxed and safe. He understands that every child is different and will try to make them as comfortable as possible. Dr. Ben is originally from the SF Bay, where he learned how to walk, read comic books and build robots.
Our office, as well as the The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Dental Association, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, all recommends establishing a Dental Home for your child by their first birthday. Children with a dental home are more likely to receive proper preventive care, and routine oral health treatment.
Our office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they are more awake, and we can work more slowly with them for their comfort. School children with a lot of homework should be seen in the morning for the same reason. Dental appointments are an excused absence, and missing school can be minimal when regular dental care is scheduled.
For more information concerning pediatric dentistry, please visit the website for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. The pediatric dentist has an extra two to three years of specialized training after dental school, and is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.
Sedation can be a helpful therapy to safely and comfortably treat your child to provide them the best experience possible. Sedation is not intended to be regularly used method of management for all children. It is prescribed depending on your child's presentation or temperament. Every child deserves a chance at a positive experience at the dental office.

What a wonderful children’s dentist office - the staff is friendly and warm, the walls are decorated w/the famous “Where the Wild Things Are” theme, and they have a beautiful salt water fish tank. My toddler immediately felt comfortable and played w/the train set upon arrival. The atmosphere is perfect for any child’s first dentist experience. Dr. Ben Pham was engaging and helpful, and my 2.5yr old was able to relax and have a positive dentist appt!

What a great first experience we had at this practice! Dr. Kristin and Stephanie were super friendly and great with the kids. Dr. Kristin provided a lot of education and helpful recommendations that we can use to improve upon what we are already doing with our kids. Its also a vibrant, friendly environment that is spotless. My son actually said "that was fun!" afterwards. We feel very fortunate to have found such a nice place.
