About Children's Choice Dental Care San Francisco

Children's Choice Dental Care San Francisco is a dental practice on Mission Street in the Mission District area of San Francisco, California. Pediatric dental care is built around treating children specifically — dentists with additional training in child development and behaviour management, and offices designed to make a first visit unintimidating. Guidance generally points to a child's first dental visit around age one or within six months of the first tooth.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

What services does Children's Choice Dental Care San Francisco offer?

What does a paediatric dentist do differently?
They complete additional training focused on children — how teeth develop, how to manage anxiety and behaviour in the chair, and conditions specific to young patients. The practical difference is usually as much about handling the visit as the treatment itself.
When do children start losing baby teeth?
Usually from around age six, continuing until roughly age twelve, though the timing varies widely between children. Adult molars also come through at the back around age six without any baby tooth falling out first.
How often should I have a dental check-up?
Every six months suits most people. If you have gum disease or a history of decay a dentist may suggest coming more often. The point of regular visits is mostly to catch problems while they are still small and cheap to treat.

I love the staff here, they are friendly and polite. All of the dentists and dental assistants are super friendly, my 4 year old loves them so much. She was scared for the first couple of dental appointments, but now she always says "I love going to the dentist". All the staff here has helped my daughter with her confidence and to build that trust with her. She just had her dental appointment yesterday and was all smiles. I love how the dental assistants and dentists tell my daughter exactly whats to be expected. By the end of the appointment she said "bye bye, I love you!" To the dental assistant that helped her. 10/10 stars would highly recommend!!!

9/10 recommend. We just had a first visit. Finding the location was a bit difficult because they had multiple offices. Aside from that office was good. They however had age inappropriate movie on the tv. It was beauty and beast but for toddler age it is scary. I don’t let my toddler watch tv or give a phone. So i was forced to give a phone to avoid her watching tv. Maybe low stimulation, engaging show would be better choice such as ms. Rachel

I think the experience here varies a lot by doctor. I was really uncomfortable with the recommendations at his first visit (multiple crowns under anesthesia) but a dental assistant could see my discomfort and told me more about my options and to see Dr. Sarah specifically. I also called his previous dentist to get their take on the recommendations of 3 crowns and 3 fillings. Once I was assured that the recommendations weren’t considered extreme, I decided to move forward. The next visit with Dr. Sarah went great. I scheduled 2 more with her specifically. When we came in again, they had us with a different doctor and were recommending 6 more crowns 2 with root canals! I don’t understand how his treatment plan changed so drastically without an additional appointment or new X-rays. I cancelled both appointments and won’t be back. They seem to have a system of recommending extensive services and escalating the treatment plans. I worry about how many people here are being taken advantage of due to limited options and language barriers. Definitely only go if you’re seeing a specific doctor that you trust. Otherwise be prepared to ask questions and be firm in advocating for what you want for your child.

Absolutely disgraceful experience. My daughter was diagnosed and then scheduled for treatment MONTHS later. During that waiting period, I called multiple times asking if there were any cancellations so she could be seen sooner. Including in the days leading up to the appointment. Every single time, I was told there were no openings. The day before the appointment, after I had literally spoken to someone from the office about cancellations for a later time on the SAME DAY of our scheduled visit, I suddenly received a text saying my appointment was canceled because I “did not confirm.” No phone call. No courtesy. Nothing. Just canceled. After waiting months already, their next available appointment was again MONTHS away. Completely unacceptable when dealing with children’s dental care. I canceled all future appointments immediately and will never return. The scheduling system and communication are beyond frustrating, and they clearly do not value patients’ time or urgency. Avoid if you actually want reliable care for your child. 🚩

I give it a 100.

Dr Aziza is the reason I bring my son. Her care for him is exceptional. She tries her hardest to preserve teeth vs extractions or crowns and what not. She is by far one of the best Dentists my son has had. Thorough, educational, professional and just a pleasant human overall. We shopped around for a bit, found Doctor Sarah with Childrens Choice (awesome Dr as well but a fan favorite and always booked) so when he was seen by Dr Aziza I knew instantly she would’ve my kids Dentist until they age out, I hope she’s not tired of seeing us because my baby will be seeing her even if she doesn’t work with Choice. I’m willing to travel for her care! Thank you Doctor for taking such great care for my boys.
