Pediatric Dentist in San Leandro

Nov 2005

There is nothing current in the archives on pediatric dentists in San Leandro. Does anyone have a recommendation? I'm particularly interested in someone who can work with kids that might not be very comfortable with others working on their teeth or in their mouth. Thanks

After a bad experience at a ped dentist in Oakland (didn't let parents in the room with kids!), I took my 2 yr old son to see Dr Joseph Smith in San Leandro. He was WONDERFUL! He and I sat knee-to-knee, and my son laid across my lap with just his head in Dr Smith's lap for a gentle exam. We haven't had any major work done, so I can't speak specifically to that, but Dr Smith has a lovely, kid-friendly demeanor (he visits at least one pre- school every year to teach the kids about teeth/dental hygiene) and he seems responsive to parents' needs/anxieties, etc. His office is located at 441 Joaquin Ave.510-352-2632 Good luck - still smiling in SL

Re: Dentists open on Saturday (March 2005)
Hi. My dentist happens to be open on Friday-Sunday only. He is in San Leandro, if that's not too far for you to go. I've moved all over the bay and still go to him! Nice to have an office that knows who you are when they answer the phone. Try calling Dr. James Curtis, DDS 510-351-1002. Fridays-Sunday they answer their own calls. Otherwise, it's an answering service. He has a wonderful assistant named Lynda who you will likely talk to when you call. Renee
