Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to children’s needs and it is our goal to make your child feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.
Your first visit is all about your child — We want children to LOVE coming to the dentist!
At the first visit, you and your child will be invited back to our child-friendly new patient room with one of our specially trained team members. We will review dental and medical history and, depending on the age of the child, take X-rays of his or her teeth and examine, clean, and polish their teeth. We will check for any cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis. The doctor will examine your child’s teeth and will discuss with you any areas of concern and the very best way to care for your child’s teeth, answer any questions you may have, and create an individual treatment plan for your child. Throughout the entire visit, our focus will be on making your child feel comfortable and happy.
Bring your smile, but also remember to bring these with you to your child’s first appointment:
Your completed patient information form
Your insurance card
Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends every child visit a pediatric dentist by his/her first tooth or first birthday - whichever comes first!
The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
We understand that your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember that an appointment can last between 20 and 40 minutes.
