Pediatric dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on dental care for infants, children, and adolescents. It encompasses various services, including preventive care, restorative treatments, and emergency care. Pediatric dentists like Dr. Zamudio undergo additional training beyond dental school, specifically in child psychology, growth and development, and behavior management, enabling them to provide unique dental care tailored to the individual needs of children. We provide a comfortable, friendly, and safe environment for your child’s dental needs.
Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves applying a tooth-colored composite material to a tooth. It can be used to repair chips, cracks, and gaps in teeth and to improve the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. At Sweet Tooth, we offer bonding as a safe and effective way to enhance your child’s smile.
Crowns
Crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Sweet Tooth, we offer both white crowns and stainless steel crowns. Stainless steel crowns are typically used for posterior teeth, while white crowns can be used for anterior and posterior teeth.
Exams & Cleaning
Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining your child’s oral health. At Sweet Tooth, we provide thorough exams and cleanings to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental issues. Our team uses gentle techniques and kid-friendly equipment to ensure your child’s visit is comfortable and stress-free.
Fluoride Treatments
Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps to prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we offer fluoride treatments as a safe and effective way to protect your child’s teeth. Our team will determine the appropriate amount of fluoride for your child’s needs and provide gentle and comfortable treatment.
Metal-Free Fillings
Metal-free fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, are made of a composite resin material that blends in with the natural color of your child’s teeth. At Sweet Tooth, we offer metal-free fillings as a safe and aesthetic way to restore teeth damaged by decay or injury. Our team will provide a comfortable and stress-free experience for your child.
Pulp Therapy
Pulp therapy, also known as a baby root canal, treats children with severely decayed or infected teeth. At Sweet Tooth, we offer pulpotomies and pulpectomies as safe and effective ways to preserve your child’s natural tooth and prevent further damage or infection. Our team uses gentle techniques to ensure a stress-free experience.
Sealants
Dental sealants are a preventive treatment that involves applying a thin, protective coating to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to prevent tooth decay. At Sweet Tooth Pediatric Dentistry, we offer sealants as a safe and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. Our team ensures a comfortable, stress-free experience for your child.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry involves medication to help patients relax and feel more comfortable. At Sweet Tooth, we offer sedation dentistry as a safe and effective way to help anxious or fearful children receive the dental care they need. Our team is specially trained to provide gentle and compassionate care to children who require sedation.

Dental emergencies can happen anytime, and it’s important to seek prompt care to prevent further damage or pain. At Sweet Tooth, we offer emergency dental services for children who experience dental trauma, severe tooth pain, or other urgent dental issues.
