What to Expect

Your child will receive a thorough exam with our pediatric dentists who will explain all the findings in detail, offer recommendations for how to best care for your child’s teeth, and address any issues or concern. Some of the topics we may discuss with you and your child include brushing techniques for varying stages of a child’s development, proper flossing techniques, diet guidance, fluoride recommendations, vitamin uses, and oral habits such as thumb sucking and pacifier use. What we want to deliver is an individualized professional and home care plans that will ensure optimum oral health for your child.

Can I accompany my child?

We have an open-door policy, which means you are welcome to be with your child at all times. Our purpose is to gain your child’s confidence and develop a trusting relationship with your child and allow them to have a positive experience in receiving dental care. Especially for children younger than 3 years of age, it is very helpful to have parents in the room. Often, your child will be on your lap! During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. However, if you choose, you are more than welcome to accompany your child to the treatment room. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.
