Information About First Pediatric Dental Visits
By doing the following, we will make the first pediatric dentist visit as positive and enjoyable for your child as possible:
We will help your child get familiar with our doctors and staff in order to make him or her feel comfortable at all times. A pleasant, comfortable first visit builds trust and helps put the child at ease during future dental visits. Let the child know that the doctors and staff will explain everything in detail and will answer any questions he/she has.
Children should be encouraged to discuss any fears or anxiety they feel. We are experienced in dealing with children with anxiety and can explain treatment procedures in a positive and pleasant manner to avoid any anxious or negative feelings toward dentistry.
We will record the child’s dental and medical history, complete a comprehensive examination and discuss any findings with you. With our good dental health program, we help your child achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for life!
