When you schedule the first appointment, we will mail or email you the patient registration and health history forms for your completion, or you may print them from our website. For toddlers, we begin the important first visit by introducing ourselves and the office environment. Usually an informal cavity-detection exam is performed. For children over two, a cleaning, examination, and fluoride treatment is performed. Any necessary X-rays of the teeth and jaws will be taken also. After a completed exam, we will prepare a treatment plan, if needed, for your child's dental needs. Although no restorative work is performed at this time, emergency treatment will be rendered.

Please do not be upset if your child cries. Children are often afraid of anything new and strange, and crying is the normal reaction. Please allow us the oppurtinity to develop a relationship with your child. After the first visit, encourage his or her independence and allow us the privilege of bringing him or her to the examination area alone.

Occasionally we provide treatment alternatives for some patients. For extremely apprehensive children, conscious sedation may be utilized in our office. In cases of extensive treatment needs and extreme mental or physical handicapped conditions, treatment may be rendered under general anesthesia in the local hospitals.
