Cavity Prevention in Pleasanton & Sunnyvale, CA

Healthy Habits Start Early—Protecting Little Smiles for Life

We partner with parents to help children build strong, healthy smiles with preventive care, education, and gentle guidance every step of the way.

Why Cavity Prevention Matters

Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease—and it’s almost entirely preventable. At My Favorite Dentist, we focus on early education, personalized care, and gentle prevention strategies to keep your child’s teeth strong and cavity-free from their very first visit through their teenage years.


Our goal isn’t just to fix cavities—it’s to help your child avoid them altogether.

Our Cavity Prevention Services

How do I get started?

Regular checkups every 6 months allow us to gently clean your child’s teeth, check for early signs of decay, and monitor development.

What does "Interventional Pain Management" mean?

Topical fluoride strengthens enamel and helps reverse early decay—quick, safe, and highly effective.

Is my treatment covered by Health Insurance?

A clear protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, sealants prevent food and bacteria from getting trapped in hard-to-brush grooves.

What will happen at my first appointment?

We teach kids (and parents!) how to brush, floss, and eat tooth-friendly foods in fun, age-appropriate ways.

How soon can I have an injection?

We offer gentle advice on thumb-sucking, bottle use, and snacking to reduce cavity risks and support healthy habits at home.

Common Causes of Cavities in Kids

  • Frequent snacking or sugary drinks
  • Inadequate brushing or flossing
  • Deep grooves in baby teeth
  • Prolonged bottle-feeding or pacifier use
  • Genetic factors or weak enamel

We take time to understand your child’s habits and risks, then tailor our approach to support long-term oral health.

Common Causes of Cavities in Kids

We believe prevention should be positive! Our team uses encouragement and kid-friendly explanations to help children understand the importance of oral care without fear or stress.

"The earlier we build healthy habits, the longer they last."
