Kids Dental Services for Cloverdale Children
Every service your child needs is available at our Santa Rosa office — no outside referrals needed. Explore our complete Kids dental treatments list, or read about each service below.
Preventive Care & Cleanings
Twice-yearly preventive dental care is the foundation of every healthy smile. At each visit, Dr. Choudhry examines tooth development, jaw alignment, and gum health, followed by a professional cleaning and fluoride treatment that actively strengthens enamel. The AAPD recommends a child's first dental visit by age one — a milestone we encourage every Cloverdale family to meet.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants seal the deep grooves in back molars where 80% of childhood cavities form — applied in minutes, completely painless, no needles or drilling. The CDC confirms sealants reduce molar cavity risk by up to 80%. Read the full benefits of dental sealants for kids and how effective sealants are for children on our dedicated pages. We recommend them for most Cloverdale children aged 6–14.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
When a cavity forms, early treatment protects the tooth and prevents deeper infection. We restore every cavity in Cloverdale children with BPA-free, tooth-colored composite fillings — invisible, durable, and completed in a single comfortable visit with topical numbing applied before any injection.
Crowns, Pulpotomy & Extractions
When decay reaches the inner pulp, a pulpotomy saves the natural tooth — preserving the spacing permanent teeth depend on. We complete the restoration with a stainless steel or tooth-colored crown in a single visit. When extraction is necessary, a space maintainer prevents neighboring teeth from drifting. See all restorative treatments we offer Cloverdale families.
Sedation Dentistry for Anxious Kids
No Cloverdale child should go without dental care because of fear. Our sedation dentistry options include nitrous oxide (laughing gas) — effective in minutes, fully cleared before your child leaves — plus oral conscious sedation and IV sedation for children needing more support. Every appointment also uses our comfort dentistry approach: child-friendly language, a gentle pace, and positive reinforcement at every step.
