Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Sucheta Budania, Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Sucheta Budania was born in India and after completing her undergraduate dental degree in India, she moved to the United States. She completed Advanced Education in Pediatric Dentistry in association with the University of Tufts, Boston. As a board-eligible pediatric dentist, she has been practicing for almost 8 years in the DMV area and recently moved to the Bay Area.

As a Pediatric Dentist, she provides complete dental care for kids from infancy through their teen years, including children with special needs. Dr. B’s experience as a pediatric dentist and a mom has solidified her practice philosophy around prevention, minimally invasive dentistry, and treating all kids as if they are her own. She has extensive experience working with children with early childhood caries and special health care needs. With her child-oriented style and fun personality, she gets children excited about their dental care, helping them develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

Outside the office, Dr. B and her husband are active parents to their three beautiful children. She also loves to do yoga, cook and go for hikes.

Pediatric Dentistry

Dr. Jay Kim, Pediatric Dentist

Dr. Jay Kim is a board-eligible pediatric dentist. She was born in Korea and moved to the Bay Area at a very young age.

Dr. Kim completed her undergraduate studies in 2 years and continued with the accelerated dental program at University of the Pacific. She then went on to serve in the United States Navy as a Lieutenant and dental officer. After Dr. Kim’s honorable discharge from the Navy, she decided to focus her dental practice on children. She wanted to be fully confident that she was providing the best services and treatment to her patients, so she committed to further learning in a pediatric dental residency program.

At Oregon Health and Science University, Dr. Kim learned to achieve clinical excellence and provide quality care catered to a child’s medical, psychological, and dental needs.

Dr. Kim focuses her care on prevention, minimally invasive techniques, and creating positive memories for children in the dental setting. She utilizes advanced pharmacological behavior management techniques that some children may need to achieve good oral health.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Kim enjoys jogging, cooking, crafting, and exploring the Bay Area with her fiancé.

Dental Emergencies

If you're unsure whether a dental issue is an emergency, consider this: If it hurts, it’s an emergency. Acting quickly on dental problems enhances the chances of saving injured or damaged teeth and preventing further complications.

Pediatric Dentistry

Trips to the dentist’s office can be a much more simple affair for some patients than others. For many of our patients, help from us to ensure a comfortable and successful treatment is a necessary part of their treatment.

Preventive Dentistry

At Kali Smiles Kids, we offer a variety of preventative dental services. We treat all of our patients like family in a professional and calm environment. After an Oral Exam, we’ll talk with your child about preventive at-home care.
