At Harmony, we provide expert dental care for children of all ages. Our friendly dentists and staff love caring for little teeth, teaching kids (and parents!) about proper oral hygiene, and setting young patients up for a lifetime of healthy smiles. If you’re looking for a children’s dentist in Oakland, Harmony is the place to be.

When Should My Child Start Seeing The Dentist?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or when their first tooth erupts—whichever comes first. That’s our recommendation at Harmony, too!

While it may seem early, starting dental care at a young age has many benefits. Regular visits allow you to monitor your child’s oral health, ask questions, and make sure their dental development is on track.

Early visits also help your child become familiar with the dental office environment, reducing the risk of dental anxiety or phobia later in life.

Expert Children’s Dentistry In A Comfortable Environment

At Harmony, we offer a full range of dental services for children. Our entire team—from front office staff to dental professionals—loves working with kids! Here’s a look at the services we provide:

Routine visits and checkups

Six-month cleanings and checkups are the foundation of great oral health. We care for patients from infancy through the teen years, offering cleanings, exams, and X-rays for every stage of growth. These visits help prevent cavities and gum disease, monitor development, and provide helpful tips for maintaining a healthy smile at home.

Fluoride treatments

Fluoride is ideal for kids who are more prone to cavities. During treatment, we apply a fluoride-rich liquid to the teeth and let it sit briefly before rinsing. This strengthens the enamel and can even reverse early signs of decay known as “soft spots.”

Dental sealants

Sealants are a great preventive measure. Your child’s dentist will apply a thin layer of resin to the chewing surfaces of their back teeth and harden it with a special light. This creates a barrier that protects against food, bacteria, and acids—dramatically lowering the risk of cavities.

Tooth-colored fillings and crowns

Even with regular brushing and dental visits, cavities can still happen. When they do, we’re here to help. Harmony offers gentle care and natural-looking fillings and crowns that restore your child’s smile while keeping them comfortable throughout the process.

Early orthodontic care

During routine checkups, we closely monitor your child’s bite and jaw development. If any alignment issues arise, early orthodontic intervention can help guide proper growth, reduce the need for braces in the future, and give you peace of mind.

Surgical treatment for complex issues

For more advanced needs, our in-house oral surgeons can provide expert care. Whether your child requires the extraction of overcrowded teeth, the exposure of unerupted teeth, or corrective jaw surgery, Harmony offers a full range of surgical options in a supportive, child-friendly environment.

Pediatric sedation dentistry

Dental visits can be intimidating for children, especially during longer or more complex procedures. At Harmony, we offer several sedation options to help your child stay calm and comfortable, including nitrous oxide (laughing gas), oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation—all safely administered by our experienced team.
