Many of our patients are referred to us by a family dentist. If this is the case for your child, a dental history will help us deliver the best care possible. Ask your dentist to provide x- rays and other dental records. You can either have them forwarded to us, or you may bring them with you to your child’s first appointment.

Please let our team know about any dental issues and any health problems that may affect dental care.

First things first! One of our dental hygienists will do a cleaning and take any needed x-rays. A pediatric dentist will check your child’s teeth and gums. We will discuss findings and any necessary treatment with you, giving you a written treatment plan. We'll also talk to you and your child about dental hygiene and preventive care.

Knowing your child's medical history is important. Make sure to mention new medications or any current or recent illnesses. They could impact your child's dental health.
