Parents are
always welcome to come back with their children! Our only
exception is when a very extensive or invasive case requires the use
of intravenous sedation with our anesthesiologist, which of course
would be discussed in much greater detail if that would ever be
necessary for your child. These cases are treated similar as they
would be at an out-patient surgery center type facility. Please call and
speak with our new patient coordinator that can go into much greater
detail and answer any questions regarding our office and your
child’s appointment. Our commitment to you: If you feel that our office does not meet your expectations following your child’s initial visit to our office, please let a staff member be aware of your concerns and the visit will be provided to you at no cost.

Since
all children have their own unique personalities and life
experiences, we try to tailor their appointment to what makes them
most comfortable. For some, just laying down on the dental chair can
cause apprehension due to fears of shots, throat cultures, or other
past unfavorable medical/dental experiences. We will often perform a
visual oral exam sitting up using only a mouth mirror and
flashlight, until the child becomes trusting and is able to lay
back. While this may take a few visits to achieve this, it pays off
in the long run with a child that enjoys and looks forward to their
regular dental appointments.
