Building Healthy Smiles for Life

Gentle Children's Dentist in Santa Rosa

At Sunshine Children’s Dentistry, we make every visit calm, comfortable, and confidence-building. Our friendly team takes time to explain each step in kid-friendly ways, helping children feel relaxed while learning how to care for their smiles.

At Sunshine Children’s Dentistry, we believe that a young child’s first dental visit sets the stage for the individuals’ lifelong oral care. A comfortable child in the dental chair is more likely to grow up to be a comfortable adult in the dental chair. Dental anxiety is more likely to present itself in individuals who have had one bad dental experience. Typically occurring in their childhood.

Sunshine Children’s Dentistry is a brand-new, 3,000-square-foot dental office featuring seven chairs and the most up-to-date, advanced technology to serve all children’s dental needs. When necessary, the office offers sedation using the safest and most advanced methods, provided by a board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist.

We're Excited to Meet You!
