Setting Young Smiles up for a Lifetime of Health
The habits and experiences children have early on shape how they feel about dental care for the rest of their lives. A positive, gentle start builds confidence, prevents problems, and lays the foundation for a healthy adult smile. That is exactly what we aim for with every young patient.
At Broadway Dental of Millbrae, Dr. Donald Yang and our team love caring for kids. We take the time to make each visit friendly, unhurried, and free of pressure, so children feel at ease and parents feel informed. Whether it is a first checkup or a routine cleaning, we want your child to leave with a smile and a good story to tell.

Comprehensive Dental Care for Growing Smiles
Children's teeth have different needs at every stage, from the first baby tooth to the arrival of permanent molars. Our goal is to support healthy development at each step while keeping decay away. Our children's services include:
- Gentle exams and cleanings to keep young teeth healthy and catch issues early
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing enamel against cavities
- Dental sealants to protect the deep grooves of new molars
- Cavity treatment with a gentle, reassuring approach
- Growth and development monitoring to keep an eye on how teeth and the bite are coming in
- Oral hygiene coaching that teaches kids to brush and floss well at home
Why Children Feel Comfortable at Our Office
A child who feels safe at the dentist is a child who keeps up with dental care as they grow. We work hard to make that happen through:
- A warm, patient team that speaks to kids at their level and never rushes
- Gentle, kid-friendly explanations that take the mystery and fear out of each step
- A no-pressure atmosphere where children can relax and ask questions
- Prevention-first care that keeps visits positive and treatment minimal
- Encouragement and praise that help kids feel proud of taking care of their teeth
What to Expect at Your Child’s Visit
We design every child's appointment to feel calm and encouraging from start to finish. Here is how a typical visit goes:
1
A friendly welcome
We introduce your child to the office and team in a relaxed, reassuring way.

Tips for home
We coach your child on brushing and flossing and answer any questions you have as a parent.
When Should My Child First See the Dentist?
Many parents are surprised at how early dental visits should begin. Getting an early start helps prevent problems and gets your child comfortable with the routine. As general guidance:
- By age one, or within six months of the first tooth, for a first visit and checkup
- Every six months after that, for routine exams and cleanings, just like adults
- As new molars come in, to consider protective sealants
- Any time you have a concern, such as a toothache, injury, or a habit like thumb sucking
Early visits are short and gentle, focused on building familiarity and giving parents the guidance they need at home. Dr. Yang will recommend the right schedule for your child.
Give Your Child a Healthy, Happy Smile
The earlier good dental habits begin, the easier they are to keep for life. We would love to help your child build a positive relationship with dental care in a place where they feel welcome and safe.
