Parents may feel nervous about how their child’s first visit will go, so we want you to know what you can expect. Here are all the steps of a routine appointment:

• First, you’ll need to check your son or daughter in at our front desk. They will alert the rest of our team to your arrival and gather any necessary information they’ll need.
• If you haven’t completed the new patient forms yet, you’ll be asked to do this before the appointment can begin. This way, we can have a full record of your child’s medical history and ensure that our approach is always safe and beneficial for them.
• If you’ve scheduled a pediatric exam, parents can expect this to last around half an hour. Our team will start by thoroughly cleaning your child’s teeth and teaching them about brushing and flossing effectively. Our pediatric dentist will thoroughly examine their mouth and determine if any treatment is needed.
• If you’ve scheduled an orthodontic consultation, this type of visit will last anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. We will capture comprehensive X-rays of their mouth and get to work on planning out the ideal orthodontic treatment.
