The first dental visit is the foundation of a growing relationship

between our dental office and your child. We feel it is important

that your child be allowed to become familiar with our office

environment and staff as soon as their teeth start to appear.

​

At the new patient appointment the dentist and staff will spend

quality time getting to know you and your child. We teach your

child to be comfortable with dentistry by explaining the procedures

and demonstrating the equipment in a fun and imaginative way.

The office visit will include a thorough oral examination, x-rays if

required, a cleaning and fluoride application.

​

A complete review of your child’s medical health and any special

needs or concerns will be addressed. More complicated procedures,

such as fillings, should be done at a later visit after your child has

become familiar with the office. We conclude the first visit with an office tour.

​

Your child will also receive stickers, a prize, toothbrush and floss, as well as an oral hygiene demonstration and nutrition counseling. You will receive a summary of your child’s oral health and future dental needs. We look forward to your visit and hope you and your child will have the dental experience of a lifetime.
