Are you looking for a dentist for kids in the Dublin area?

Parents in the Dublin, California area who are seeking quality care for their kids are welcome to visit Dr. Munira Lokhandwala of StarBrite Dental. Our dentist is well-versed in handling pediatric patients. Patients of all ages are invited to make an appointment at her practice to learn about all she has to offer.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry encourages parents to bring their children in for their initial dental appointment by their first birthday, or sooner when a tooth erupts. Dr. Munira Lokhandwala introduces the children to her practice, which has a calming, relaxing atmosphere. The first visit to the dentist should be a positive experience. She will allow the child to sit in the parent’s lap while their smile is evaluated. An examination at this point typical involves just an evaluation of the smile from the dentist. X-rays are only done as children get older, or if there are any specific concerns regarding the teeth coming in to the dental arch.

Dr. Munira Lokhandwala offers several services to children in her practice. This includes:

• Examinations – these may be both physical evaluations as well as an evaluation integrating x-rays to check overall dental health and wellness.
• Fluoride and sealants – these applications can provide an extra layer of protection for the smile and provide a barrier against cavities.
• Fillings – when cavities do develop, it is important to have them treated as soon as possible to avoid further issues. Fillings done in our practice are completed with composite resin for seamless integration.
• Cleanings – cleanings every six months can eliminate plaque and tartar that can develop on the teeth. Even children and adults who brush and floss after every meal can benefit from a professional cleaning at the dental office.
