University of California San Francisco
Pediatric Dentistry Clinic – Mission Bay
UCSF’s Pediatric Dentistry Clinic offers gentle, expert care for infants, children, and adolescents—both preventive visits and specialized treatment of complex dental conditions. Our team of UCSF School of Dentistry faculty and residents is dedicated to helping every child build healthy habits and feel comfortable in the dental chair.
We recommend scheduling your child’s first dental visit by their first birthday. A parent, legal guardian, or custodial caregiver must accompany the child at this initial appointment. During the visit, we’ll help your child get familiar with the clinic, clean and polish their teeth, and perform a full oral exam, which may include X-rays.
