Here is what you can expect at your child’s new patient visit:

We will take the time to know your child, as well as his/her likes and dislikes regarding past dental care. We
will carefully review their medical history and past dental history. We will screen them for oral cancer. From
there, we will examine their teeth and take any necessary x-rays and photos. We will clean their teeth and
apply fluoride to make their teeth more resistant to tooth decay. We will discuss oral hygiene practices of
your child. Nutritional counseling will be provided if needed.

A treatment plan will be formulated and different treatment options will be discussed with you. We will work
together to establish a treatment plan that best meets your needs.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your visit:
  •   Any current X-rays
  •   A list of medications your child is currently taking
  •   Any need for Antibiotic Premedication
  •   If we have received all of your insurance information 24 hours prior to the day of the
    appointment, we will be happy to file your claim for the treatment provided, otherwise you
    will be expected to pay in full services rendered


IMPORTANT:
All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at their dental visit. Please
alert the office if your child has a medical condition that may be of concern prior to dental treatment (i.e.
diabetes, heart murmurs, heart surgery, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if they
are on any medications.
