Convenient Location & Hours Make It Easy to Book Kids’ Appointments

Most families today have busy schedules. Scheduling dental appointments for your kids, especially if you have several, can be tough. We make it a bit easier with our extended hours. Our pediatric offices are open until 9 p.m. three nights a week, and we even offer Friday and Saturday appointments. With several dentists, it’s usually possible to schedule appointments for many family members on the same day.

Our dental office is located at 3801 Pelandale Ave. in Modesto. That’s near several schools, including Montessori School of Modesto, Big Valley Christian School, Mary Lou Dieterich Elementary School, and St. Felicissimus School.

Our Dentists Can Advise You on Teething & Other Issues

If you’re like most parents, you’ll have plenty of questions about your children’s teeth. Our dentists are happy to help, with everything from teething to cavity protection to orthodontics. For teething pain, one of the issues we’re asked about most frequently by parents of babies, we suggest:

  • Firmly rubbing their gums with a clean finger to relieve discomfort.
  • Offering a cold teething ring for additional relief.
  • Using an age-appropriate pain reliever, avoiding those that contain benzocaine.

Get All the Services Your Children’s Smiles Need

From their earliest visits, our dental team will ensure your children’s teeth are healthy. As they grow, we may suggest preventive dental care like:

  • Fluoride treatments to strengthen their tooth enamel and fight cavities.
  • Dental sealants to provide added protection for tough-to-clean areas like the back teeth.
  • Athletic mouthguards to prevent dental damage and mouth injuries during sports and other activities.

They’ll also keep a close eye on the alignment of your children’s teeth. If your teen needs wisdom tooth removal, they’ll be in good hands with Dr. Marinello Manuel, who completed advanced training in oral surgery after he earned his DMD.
