We would like to give you some information which you may find useful in understanding our office. We want your child's first visit to be as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

On their first appointment children will have an introduction to the office. Our office space is engaging yet soothing - fun and comfortable for both kids and adults. Our experience has shown that older children do better without their parents' company and we encourage them to be seen independently. (Certainly exceptions to this may be made when children are very apprehensive or very young.)
Your child will have an examination of their mouth and teeth. This is usually accompanied by a cleaning and fluoride treatment. As well as discuss diet and tips for oral hygiene.
School age children often will have radiographs (x-rays) taken to determine the eruption patterns and development of their dental structures as well as to check for cavities.
You will also have a consultation with the doctor and have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss your child's treatment needs.
We prefer to schedule our younger patients for morning appointments. We have found that a child's attention span is greater earlier in the day and that they are more relaxed about their visit. They are also more relaxed and have less anxiety about their visit. Please recognize that we try to accommodate as many children in the off school hours as possible but that we try to reserve these appointments for students in the higher grades.
Please call us at (508) 466-6547 to make a payment.
