Pediatric dental care for Cameron Park families
Eighteen miles east on Highway 50 from the Cameron Park Lake area. Specialty pediatric care including IV sedation, special needs dentistry, and infant laser frenectomy.
A foothill family drive
Cameron Park is a foothill community in El Dorado County, with neighborhoods around Cameron Park Lake and along Cambridge Road and Cameron Park Drive. From most Cameron Park addresses, our office is an eighteen-mile drive west on Highway 50, twenty-five to thirty-five minutes depending on time of day.
Like Roseville and Sacramento, we are not the convenient choice for routine pediatric dentistry in Cameron Park. We are the specialty option for IV sedation, special-needs accommodation, and infant frenectomy.
When the longer drive is the right one
Cameron Park has a smaller population (about nineteen thousand) and the local pediatric dental options are more limited than in larger markets. For specialty services, families typically choose between a hospital operating room in the Sacramento metro and an in-office IV sedation provider. We are the latter.
For special needs, the foothill location can mean longer travel times to specialty services in general, and the eighteen-mile drive to a fully-equipped pediatric specialty office is often shorter than the alternative routes.
For laser frenectomy, the same principle applies: families come because they want a soft-tissue laser approach with a pediatric dentist who handles infant feeding follow-up coordination, not because we are the closest.
