Preventive Dental Care
Prevention is at the heart of everything we do at Eastshore Pediatric Dental Group. At every exam, our specialists screen for cavity risk, review oral hygiene habits, assess dietary factors, and establish appropriate x-ray and exam schedules. Catching issues early — or preventing them altogether — means fewer visits for treatment down the road. Learn More About Preventive Care

Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus
Eastshore Pediatric Dental Group is pleased to offer Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus — a non-invasive treatment for early interproximal (between-the-teeth) cavities. This innovative therapy uses minerals naturally found in your child’s saliva to help rebuild tooth enamel, with no drilling or injections required. It’s an excellent option for catching and reversing early decay before it progresses. Learn More About Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus
Minimally Invasive Pediatric Dentistry
We are committed to the most conservative treatment approaches possible. Our minimally invasive pediatric dentistry philosophy means we use the least intervention necessary to protect and preserve your child’s natural teeth — reducing discomfort, anxiety, and the need for more extensive treatment in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions – Pediatric Dental Services
What pediatric dental services does Eastshore Pediatric Dental Group offer?
We offer a full scope of pediatric dental care including preventive services, restorative treatment, sedation dentistry, hospital dentistry under general anesthesia, emergency care, Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, and minimally invasive treatment. Our goal is to be a complete dental home for your child from infancy through age 18.
How do you make dental visits less stressful for children?
Our entire practice is designed with children in mind. We use age-appropriate communication, a friendly and welcoming environment, and gentle techniques to help kids feel at ease. For children who need extra support, we offer nitrous oxide, sedation dentistry, and general anesthesia to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.
What is Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus and does my child need it?
Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus is a non-invasive treatment for early cavities that form between the teeth. It uses minerals from your child’s own saliva to naturally rebuild tooth enamel — no drilling or injections required. It’s ideal for early-stage decay and is a great alternative to traditional fillings when cavities are caught in time. Ask our team if your child may be a candidate at their next visit.
What is minimally invasive pediatric dentistry?
Minimally invasive dentistry focuses on using the least intervention necessary to treat and prevent dental disease. Rather than defaulting to traditional drilling, we look for conservative options that preserve more of your child’s natural tooth structure, reduce discomfort, and minimize anxiety — especially important for young patients.
At what age should my child start preventive dental care?
Preventive care should begin at your child’s very first dental visit — ideally by age one. At Eastshore Pediatric Dental Group, we begin assessing cavity risk, oral hygiene, and diet at the earliest appointments so we can help your child avoid problems before they start. Learn more on our preventive care page.
Do you treat dental emergencies for children?
Yes. We provide emergency pediatric dental care for children in Pinole, CA and the surrounding East Bay area. If your child has a knocked-out tooth, severe toothache, dental trauma, or another urgent concern, please call us immediately at (510) 964-0168.
How do I know if my child needs sedation dentistry?
Sedation may be recommended for children who experience significant dental anxiety, have difficulty sitting still, require extensive treatment, or are very young. Our specialists will evaluate your child’s needs and discuss all sedation options with you — including nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and general anesthesia — so you can make the most informed decision for your child.
