Building healthy smiles and positive dental habits from day one — gently and joyfully.

At De Anza Smiles, we believe every child deserves a positive, fear-free dental experience. Dr. Saboowala has a special gift for working with children — she's patient, nurturing, and knows how to make even the most nervous kids feel safe and at ease. We're building lifelong healthy habits, one smile at a time.

What We Offer

First Dental Visit

We recommend a child's first visit by age 1 or when the first tooth erupts. Early visits are gentle, educational, and designed to build positive associations with the dentist.

Children's Cleanings & Exams

Thorough, age-appropriate cleanings and exams that check for early signs of decay, bite issues, and developmental concerns.

Dental Sealants

Thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth to prevent cavities in children and teenagers.

Fluoride Treatments

Quick, painless fluoride applications that strengthen enamel and significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay.

Space Maintainers

If a baby tooth is lost early, space maintainers hold the space open for permanent teeth to grow in correctly.

Pediatric X-Rays

Low-radiation digital X-rays to check developing teeth and identify issues that aren't visible to the naked eye.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should my child first see a dentist?
By their first birthday or when their first tooth appears — whichever comes first. Early visits help prevent problems and make dental care a positive experience.
My child is scared of the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely. Dr. Saboowala specializes in anxious patients of all ages. We use a gentle 'tell-show-do' approach and take things at your child's pace — no rush, ever.
How do I prevent cavities in my child's teeth?
Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, limit sugary snacks and drinks, schedule regular cleanings, and ask us about sealants and fluoride treatments.
Are baby teeth really important?
Yes! Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth, support speech and nutrition, and affect your child's confidence. Caring for them properly is essential.
