Tending to Tiny Smiles

Meet Dr. Wendy

Born and raised in sunny Southern California, Dr. Wendy Yang, board-certified pediatric dentist, studied at the University of California, Los Angeles, where her passion for dentistry blossomed. After earning her MS in Oral Biology at UCLA, she earned her DDS at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and later attended the University of California, San Francisco for Pediatric Residency.

Dr. Wendy has a nurturing heart and believes in kind, quality care for every child. Her San Diego practice stems from a posture of compassion and empathy to provide your little one with the most positive dental experience possible. Her greatest reward is allaying dental fears and inspiring children to grow a lifelong love for their budding smiles, so you can rest knowing your little one is in caring hands.

Pediatric Dental Services in San Diego

Sprouting Smiles provides pediatric dental care for every stage of your child’s smile. From routine checkups to urgent dental needs, our services are designed to keep budding smiles healthy, comfortable, and growing strong.

Special Needs Dentistry

At Sprouting Smiles, it’s our privilege to serve children with special needs. We understand that pediatric dentistry is best performed with joy and compassion. That's why we strive to be a trusted resource and practitioner for your family in San Diego. Our goal is your child's comfort.

Preventive Dentistry

Great oral health starts with preventive care. With regular cleanings, we can clear out any hard to reach sugar-bugs and bacteria hiding in the nooks and crannies of your child’s teeth, while our exams help us stay on the look out for any potential oral health problems.

Restorative Dentistry

When your child’s smile is in need of repair, the team at Sprouting Smiles offers gentle treatment to keep budding smiles healthy. From minimally invasive restorative treatments, to simple fillings or stainless steel crowns and pulpotomies, we can help kids get back on track with their oral health.

Emergency Dentistry

Dental emergencies can feel scary, especially when your child is in pain. Sprouting Smiles offers same-day emergency dental care whenever possible for toothaches, broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, oral injuries, swelling, and bleeding.

Sedation Dentistry

Some children need extra support to feel relaxed during dental treatment, and that is completely okay. Sprouting Smiles offers sedation dentistry to help children with dental anxiety, special needs, longer appointments, or treatment needs feel more comfortable.

Lip & Tongue Tie

Tongue ties and lip ties can affect feeding, speech, oral movement, and comfort. Dr. Wendy provides frenectomy treatment to help release restricted tissue and support better function.This care may be helpful for babies and children who struggle with breastfeeding, latch, speech concerns, or limited tongue/lip movement.

patient testimonials

Anna J.

Dr. Wendy Yang and her staff are the best! Dr. Wendy was very patient, kind, and gentle with my kiddos. She did a phenomenal job at treating his teeth, while still making him feel comfortable in her chair. Honestly, I was amazed. Do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Wendy and her team if your kids need a phenomenal dentist. High recommend!!

Jack K.

I took my son for his two year checkup. He was pretty nervous about going to the dentist but Dr. Yang and her amazing staff really put him at ease. They even had his favorite movie playing which was a huge bonus (they emailed to ask about favorite characters before we showed up). The best part for me was hearing how we were doing and learning how we can improve his dental hygiene.

Miriam L.

I had the absolute best experience with Dr Wendy! I never thought I could say taking my 4.5 yr old to the dentist was fun, but me and my son had the best time! I feel so lucky that we found this place and would give it 6 stars if i could!!

Miho B.

It was my daughter's very first dentist appointment but Dr. Wendy and the nurse were very nice and friendly, so that helped my daughter to stay calm. She was not scared at all throughout the visit. Dr. Wendy told us what to do to keep my daughter's teeth healthy, and what to expect for her particular age. Brand new office, very clean and bright. I am glad we have such a nice dental clinic nearby!
