At Sweetwater Pediatric Dentistry, inspiring a lifetime of bright, strong smiles and brave kiddos is what we do best! Dr. Rene, Dr. Pat, and our rockstar team of kid-focused professionals are proud to be in your family’s corner with the specialized knowledge, gentle hand, and upbeat approach that your child deserves. From your bundle of joy to your college-bound teen, we’re dedicated to growing alongside you and your child with second-to-none care.
When you bring your child to our office, you can always look forward to a cheerful, inviting space where your little one can leave their worries at the door! We make every trip easy with digital forms, so you can skip the piles of paperwork and enjoy a seamless appointment with your child.
First and foremost, we’ll focus on getting to know your family and giving your child a friendly introduction to our crew. This allows us to provide a highly-tailored experience and establish a trusting bond between our team and your kiddo!
If your child has their primary teeth, our smile pros will learn all about their oral health with a cleaning and comprehensive exam. You’re welcome to accompany your child during their treatment, and our caring doctors will always take the time to answer any questions you may be wondering with clarity, honesty, and compassion.
If your little one’s first appointment is approaching, one of the best ways you can set them up for a great visit is by telling them how exciting visiting their new dental friends will be!
Use positive language and walk them through the process of getting their teeth cleaned, counted, and examined by playing pretend as a dentist and patient together. Let them pick out a toothbrush in their favorite color, turn on a happy two-minute song, and show them how to properly polish those pearly whites!
Introducing professional smile care to your child in a way that’s playful, educational, and familiar can help instill a genuine optimism and confidence when it comes to the real thing.
Pediatric dentists do so much more than just treat tiny teeth. We know how to make visits feel safe, informative, and fun, empowering kids of all ages and abilities with a caring dental home they can count on as they grow.
When it comes to delivering expert care for kids, board-certified pediatric dentists take their dedication to the next level. Alongside 4 years of dental school and 2-3 years of pediatric residency, board-certified pediatric dentists voluntarily complete countless hours of additional education, written exams, and a certificate renewal every 10 years by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry – a credential that is achieved by less than 38% of pediatric dentists in the U.S.
As your National City board-certified pediatric dentist, we continually push ourselves in all aspects of our craft – because your child deserves excellence.
