Welcoming Santa Rosa Families to Poppy Kids Pediatric Dentistry

Santa Rosa is our farthest-north crowd of regulars, and the families who come from Rincon Valley, Bennett Valley, and Fountaingrove tend to say the same thing: the drive is the easy part. It's a straight shot down US-101 — past Petaluma, past Novato, off at exit 459 — and roughly 35 minutes later you're parked at Pacheco Plaza. Sonoma County has plenty of dentists closer to home, so when a Santa Rosa family chooses to travel, it's usually because they want a board-certified pediatric specialist, not the nearest available chair.

That's what Poppy Kids is: a single, boutique practice in Novato where Dr. Andrea Aduna sees every child personally, at a pace built around them rather than the schedule. We're not a multi-location group and we don't have a Santa Rosa office — just one dental home that Santa Rosa families have decided is worth the highway. Movies on the ceiling, a private consult room, and a team that remembers your kid's name go a long way toward making a 35-minute trip feel routine. First visit for children under three is always free.
