We are always excited to meet new patients! Your child’s first visit to our dental office can help your child feel more comfortable and at ease about dental care. Your child’s first visit begins with a comprehensive oral evaluation. Our team will develop a treatment plan to help your child achieve and maintain a healthy smile. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about treatment options during your child’s visit.
We have found that informing your child about their first dental visit can help set the stage for a positive dental experience, and we encourage parents to accompany their children during their visit. This provides an opportunity to see us working with your child and allows us to discuss dental findings and treatment needs directly with you.
When you come in for your child’s initial visit, please be sure to bring your child’s dental insurance card and arrive early to fill out our initial paperwork if you have not already done so. Please bring a list of any medications your child may be taking.
During this visit, we will get to know your child and help them feel comfortable in the office by explaining what will happen during the visit and showing them the tools we will use to help keep their smile healthy. At your child’s first visit, we will review your child’s medical/dental health history with you, perform a thorough head and neck examination, and evaluate your child’s teeth and gums. Digital radiographs (x-rays) are taken only if necessary. If no treatment is needed, the teeth will be cleaned and a fluoride treatment will be provided.
Regular visits to the dentist allow us to observe dental changes and set your child on the path to a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. We look forward to meeting you and your child for your first appointment!
