Your first visit is all about your child: his or her comfort, happiness, and health
During your child’s first visit, we will review the dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of your son or daughter’s teeth and mouth. After that, one of our assistants will clean and polish your little one’s teeth, and then Dr. Dana will check for cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis. Then Dr. Dana will meet with you and your youngster to discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.
Bring your child’s smile, but also remember to bring these to the first appointment:
- Your completed patient information form
- Your insurance card
Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!
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 your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a visit, please remember an appointment typically lasts approximately one hour.
