Office Visits

Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to children’s needs and it is our goal to make your child feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.

Your first visit is all about your child — his or her comfort, happiness, and health.

During your child’s first visit, we will review their dental and medical history, provide a comprehensive examination and take dental radiographs (X-rays) if needed. Dr. Brent will meet with you and your child to discuss the findings, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have. Our dental assistant will often provide a phophylaxis (cleaning) and fluoride treatment at this visit.

Bring your smile, but also remember to bring these with you to your child’s first appointment:

• Your completed patient information form
• Your insurance card

Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!

The American Dental Association and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist every six months beginning at 1 year old for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy.

We understand that your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember that an appointment can last between 20 and 40 minutes for each child.
