 Welcome!
Thank you for selecting us
to treat your child’s dental health needs. Our practice is
dedicated to providing the highest possible quality of care. Our
office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry,
recommends that your child visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday.
You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Your
child should be informed of the visit and told that the dentist and
their staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The
less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
Your Child's First Visit
Prepare for your child’s first visit by taking a positive approach. For
very young children there are excellent children’s stories, which
describe a visit to the dentist. Convey good feelings about dental
visits being part of growing up. It is best if you refrain from
using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as
"needle", "shot", "pull", "drill" or "hurt". The office makes a practice
of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and
non-frightening to the child.
You will be allowed to be with your child during the initial
examination. We ask, however, that you remain a “silent partner”
since it is difficult for a child to pay attention to more than one
person at a time. Please understand that crying is a normal reaction for
young children.
