Patient Experience
What to expect at your new patient appointment.

For very young children
- For very young children who have never had a visit to the dentist, we schedule a “happy visit”
- This visit introduces the young patient to the sites and sounds of a dental office such as the dental chair and light, the dental mouth mirror, the tooth counter or feeler and “Mr. Thirsty”
- We will provide education on how to care for your child’s teeth and discuss your concerns
