Pediatric dentists are experts in children’s oral health care because we undergo additional years of schooling and training than general dentists to specialize in pediatric dental care.

Services We Offer to Our
Rancho Peñasquitos Pediatric Patients

Preventative Dentistry

Prevention is the best tool we have in the dental field. Through periodic checkups and cleanings, we prevent plaque and tartar from building up in the mouth which reduces your child’s risk of cavities, infections, gum disease, and tooth loss.

Early detection ensures we catch any oral health problems early on. We also offer treatments that offer additional cavity protection such as fluoride treatments and dental sealants, which are useful tools for children with a high risk of cavities.

Special Needs Care

If your child has special needs, you don’t want to go to just any dentist in Rancho Peñasquitos. Children with special needs may have certain cognitive or physical disabilities, dental anxiety, or sensory disorders.

As a board-certified pediatric dentist, Dr. Yang is specially trained in how to treat patients with special needs. We offer dental sedation in the form of laughing gas and IV sedation to reduce anxiety and increase comfort and cooperation in our patients with special needs.

We are proud to provide open and honest communication with your child so we can determine what accommodations they need to feel more comfortable during their appointment.

This may include administering dental sedation, dimming lights, giving your child a longer appointment, reducing background sounds, or providing them with distractions. If your child has a tongue or lip tie, it’s important to see a pediatric dentist for a frenectomy to prevent future oral development, feeding, and speech problems.
