At We Care Dental in Dublin, Dr. Chona Lardizabal and her team specialize in creating positive, stress-free dental experiences tailored to children’s unique needs.
Why Dental Care for Kids Matters
Children’s dental needs differ from adults’, requiring expertise in developmental milestones, behavioral guidance, and preventive strategies. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends scheduling a child’s first visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth erupting. Early visits help:
Prevent cavities through fluoride treatments and sealants.
Monitor growth to catch orthodontic or bite issues early.
Build trust to reduce dental anxiety long-term.
At We Care Dental, Dr. Lardizabal combines clinical excellence with a warm, playful approach, ensuring even the youngest patients feel at ease.
Key Features of a Child-Friendly Dental Practice
Not all dental offices are created equal. Here’s what to look for when selecting a dentist for your child in Dublin:
Preventive Care Focus -early prevention saves time, money, and discomfort. Key services include:
Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel.
Sealants to protect molars from decay.
Education on brushing, flossing, and nutrition.
Behavioral Expertise - A great kids’ dentist uses techniques to ease fear, such as:
Tell-show-do to explain procedures in child-friendly terms.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for anxious patients.
Dr. Chona is the most professional dentist I have ever seen in my community, she is gentle and caring. My experience in her clinic has been so pleasant, my entire family members are patients of We care dental!

Me and my kids love it here! Dr. Chona and her husband are very friendly and nice! And the the man who got us an X-ray, forgot his name, but he is nice and friendly as well. So glad we found this “We Care Dental Clinic” in San Ramon!♥️ Its a very clean environment and I would definitely recommend this place!🤩
Dr. Chona is very friendly and caring to her patient. My two kids feel very comfortable with her during the each visits. Last time my daughter had the accident trauma, the office was able to give me an appointment even though they were fully booked at that time.
My 9 year old chipped her tooth at school. I could have made an emergency appt that day, but chose to wait until the next day. Her front tooth looks great! Can't tell that anything happened!
This is the fourth year that we are seeing Dr. Chona as a family and we have never experienced any aggressiveness on her part when suggesting treatments. She offers different options. We highly recommend her and we will continue to see her.
