We thank you for the confidence you have placed in us. We are complimented that you have chosen us. You may rest assured that we will do everything in our power to make your childs visits to our office as pleasant as possible.
We will carefully examine the development of your childs mouth. This is important because dental problems often start early including crowding, the appearance of calcium deposits or an abnormality in the number of teeth. We want to protect your child against possible conditions as baby bottle tooth decay, gum disease, prolonged thumb-sucking, and teething problems.
We have a fun childrens lounge with books, coloring, and videos. During each visit, your child can watch videos while they are being treated. After your child is seen by the dentist, we offer neat stickers and a free prize to congratulate them on their visit.
On your childs first visit we will ask you for personal data and health background information. This information is designed to help us complete insurance forms or other correspondence required. The health information provides a baseline history to aid us in providing better health care for your child.
