Alameda Pediatric Dentistry is a pediatric dental office that has specialized in the treatment of young children and adolescents for over 25 years. Dr. Robert W. Oliver, began the practice in 1970. Dr. David Perry joined the office as a partner 3 years later and took over as the primary dentist after Dr. Oliver retired from the office in 1989. In 2003, Dr. Karen Taniguchi joined the practice. In 2005, Dr. Sharine Thenard, a former patient, also joined. Our doctors and staff treat tooth decay in children using general anesthesia, conscious sedation and nitrous oxide with oxygen. They advocate using sealants to help prevent decay, encourage infant oral exams to catch and prevent baby bottle tooth decay and donate custom made mouth guards to local high school teams. Alameda Pediatric Dentistry's mission is to ensure that the strong oral health habits learned in childhood will continue into their adult lives.
