Children Under Three for Free
Bring your child in for their first visit before the age of three and receive a complimentary exam and oral hygiene instruction a healthy future.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children visit the dentist by age 1. As Pediatric Specialists, we are well acquainted with the limited attention spans of these little ones! This first, thorough, quick examination allows for early detection and prevention of dental problems and provides valuable information to support good home care habits.
First visits are fun!
Toddlers and pre-schoolers are amazing patients with personalities ranging from cautious and shy to gregarious and curious. Regardless of your young child’s personality, our goal is to make your child’s first visit informative and fun. Our highly trained staff is sensitive to the joys and fears of all children. Building trust and setting a positive tone for each appointment is highest priority.
Parents often wonder what to say to their small child prior to their first dental visit. In brief, keep the mention of your child’s appointment to meet Dr. Steve and Stephanie calm and casual. Oftentimes, the less said, the better! Our office staff is always happy to answer your concerns and questions and provide helpful suggestions for encouraging a fun first visit.
Oftentimes, parents ask if they are permitted to join their children in the treatment area. In consultation at the beginning of your appointment, we desire to understand your preferences. Our goal is to work effectively as a team: staff, patients and parents. Should you desire to accompany your child into the treatment area, expectations and roles are discussed with you such that your child’s attention is not divided between you and the doctor/assistant or dental hygienist. By keeping the child’s attention properly focused, we can gain great cooperation.
We look forward to meeting you and your child at your first visit! ”
