New Patients
Report
Your child's first visit in our office may include, (depending on his/her age) examination, cleaning, fluoride, and x-rays. You are welcome to come with your child for all procedures and if your child wants or needs to, they may sit on your lap. Please note - the following are words we never use in our office: shot, needle, stick, poke, yank, drill, or blood.
X-Rays
Report
Radiographs are a vital and necessary part of your child's dental diagnostic process. Without them, certain dental conditions can and will be missed. X-Rays detect much more than cavities. For example, radiographs may be needed to survey erupting teeth, diagnose bone diseases, evaluate the results of an injury, or plan orthodontic treatment.
Nutrition
Report
Our office is not just concerned about your child's dental health, we are concerned about their total health. Diets that are unhealthy for the teeth are also unhealthy for the body. Not only do we want to prevent cavities we want to prevent childhood obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. The mouth is the gateway to the body.
