At your child’s first dental visit with us our goal is to get to know you and your child and provide them with the best experience possible!

The first visit is designed to gain your child’s confidence and trust, and we will take our time to allow your child to get to know us, our staff and get acquainted with the office. Our highly trained staff will utilize positive reinforcement, modeling and age-appropriate language to establish a positive and comfortable relationship with your child. We will review your child’s health history, dental history and risk factors for cavities, as well as prescribe digital x-rays when indicated. Your child’s teeth will be cleaned, and a fluoride treatment can be provided.

Dr. Laura and her team will discuss oral health, disease prevention, trauma prevention and dental development specific to your child’s age. During the exam, Dr. Laura will check your child’s teeth for cavities, examine your child’s bite, and look for any potential problems with the gums, jaws and oral tissues. We spend time with you and your child demonstrating the best flossing and tooth brushing techniques, and will discuss your child’s present dental needs and recommended treatment. Every child deserves a lifetime of healthy smiles, and our goal is to provide the best dental care in a compassionate environment and make the dentist a fun place to visit!
