Preparing Your Child...
Please discuss the positive aspects of dentistry and convey good feelings to your child about dental visits. Do not say, "The dentist will not hurt you." Instead say, "The dentist is going to show you lots of new and fun things to make your teeth sparkle and help you have a pretty smile."  Don't bribe your child or use a dental visit as a form of punishment.  Morning appointments for little ones will usually catch them at their most refreshed time.  Schedule your child's appointment for the time of day when they are the most cooperative.  We realize that after-school appointments are the most convenient for parents.  However, there may be times when we will need to schedule your appointment earlier in the day.

Your Child's First Visit
We welcome parents to come back into the treatment area for their child's first visit to see our dental facility and treatment procedures.  However, in order for us to establish a trusting relationship with your child, we ask that parents remain in the waiting room during future visits.  Please feel free to ask questions concerning your child's dental treatment at any time.
