UCSF’s Pediatric Dentistry Faculty and Resident Clinic offers both preventive care and treatment of dental conditions in children. UCSF School of Dentistry faculty staff this clinic; residents do a rotation through this clinic.
We recommend you schedule your child’s first dental visit by his/her 1st birthday. A parent, legal guardian or custodial caregiver must accompany a child at the first appointment. At the first visit, we acquaint our young patients with the dental clinic, clean and polish the teeth and perform a complete oral exam (may include X-rays).
