Our office, as well as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, 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.

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 may stay with your child through their dental experience.  Our purpose is to gain your child's confidence and overcome apprehension.  During future appointments you may allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience.  We do not use any restraints when treating patients.  Our office is also set up for handicapped access/special needs patients. 

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.
 

We strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one!
