About Han Pediatric Dentistry

Han Pediatric Dentistry is a dental practice on Noriega Street in the Outer Sunset 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.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

What services does Han Pediatric Dentistry offer?
Listed services at Han Pediatric Dentistry include Children / Pediatric Dentistry. The full list is shown on this page.
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.

Our first experience was excellent. The desk, the hygienists, the doctor…everything was perfect for making my girl comfortable. Their approach is exactly what I was looking for.

Lovely, responsive staff and a comfortable, clean facility. Dr. Han was fantastic with my toddler for his 1st dentist appointment. My baby typically hates getting his teeth brushed every night, but Dr. Han kept him at ease and fully relaxed throughout the process. He taught us some tips that will hopefully help make our nighttime routine easier.

Dr. Han is a fabulous dentist and makes the experience informative and positive for my children. They left the visit with clarity on how to brush with more attention to the teeth in the back and that it's not about speed or power but about consistency and care. They love visiting the dentist (who says that?!?) and we could not be more appreciative of the intentionality and care Dr. Han has created at his practice. Thank you team!

I truly appreciate Dr. Han for his patience with our son and his commitment to provide thorough care. We’ve not had success in the past with having his teeth actually cleaned by the dentist and I felt like I was using my insurance to burn a half hour of my time for a free toothbrush. Dr. Han used the time our son needed to acclimate to the visit to educate us about overall dental health. While our child had his meltdown, Dr. Han started his exam without tools so our son can adjust. There really is a difference in the care a pediatric dentist provides versus a family practice. Looking forward to continuing and growing with Dr. Han and his team.

Dr. Han is the best pediatric dentist in the Bay Area. Kind, gentle, patient and extremely knowledgable. Dr. Han takes the time needed with each patient to get to know them and make them feel at ease. My children look forward to going to the dentist! Even after having treatments for cavities and a tooth extraction after an accident! His office is extremely high tech and everything is state of the art. Dr. Han takes his craft seriously and genuinely cares about the health and well being of the children he works with. I have recommended him to multiple families and they all tell me how amazing he is and how grateful they are their children get to go to him.
