PEDIATRIC Dentistry

Dr. Medina limits her practice to children. It is important for children to visit the dentist starting at a very young age in order to help prevent dental problems, introduce the necessary role of the doctors and regular checkups, and foster good oral hygiene habits. Dr. Pacheco and Dr. Medina work closely with children and parents to ensure these goals are met.

Our office provides a nurturing environment to create a comfortable experience for our young patients while using state-of-the-art equipment and innovative educational practices to provide the best dental health. We work with local programs, such as First 5 and SBCEO Health Linkages to promote health throughout the Santa Barbara community.

Individualized Treatment Options

Many children are naturally apprehensive about visiting the dentist, which is why we can provide different ways for them to cope with treatment. the Doctors use a technique called “Tell, Show, Do” during procedures to explain and demonstrate what is being done during the child’s visit. By being more engaged in their own treatment, a patient is more likely to be relaxed and able to cooperate with the doctor.
