Dr. Raj Sanghvi, D.D.S.
Associate Dentist

Born and raised in the Central Valley amongst almond trees, Dr. Raj Sanghvi is a highly-trained Pediatric Dental Specialist. She is excited to now be living in the “City of Trees” providing high quality care and positive dental experiences for children. She believes that these early experiences are the building blocks to a positive future attitude towards dentistry and oral health.

Education and Experience: Dr. Raj attended University of California, Davis where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in Human Development. She then went on to UCLA School of Dentistry where she earned her DDS degree. Her love of NYC took her to New York Presbyterian Hospital/ Weill Cornell Medical Center where she earned her General Practice Residency Certificate. This was a one-year hospital based program where she got extensive dental training in trauma, special needs and immunocompromised patients. While in NYC, she assisted in a research study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which looked at the longterm effects of chemotherapy and radiation on the development of teeth in children. Dr. Raj’s dream of working with children led her to complete a two year specialty training at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where she received her certificate in Pediatric Dentistry.

Community: Dr. Raj has a deep connection to her community. She has volunteered with the Sacramento based Food Literacy Center and local dental outreach events, including Give Kids a Smile. She also organizes an annual pop-up art event that highlights and supports a local or national children’s organization. A different organization is chosen every year to bring awareness to different children’s issues. She believes that all disadvantaged children deserve better and that health, a safe home and other basic needs to thrive & grow are a child’s right. Some of the organizations the annual event has supported include:



Hobbies: Dr. Raj enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters. They enjoy being foodies, traveling and spending time in Lake Tahoe. She has an appreciation for art, music and creativity. You can also find her reading fiction, trying new recipes in the kitchen, running and walking their energetic labradoodle.
