Office Visits

Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and high-quality dental care. We understand that your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to children’s needs, and it is our goal to make your son or daughter feel comfortable visiting our practice while we provide the best possible care.

Your first visit is all about your child: his or her comfort, happiness, and health

During your child’s first visit, we will review the dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of teeth and mouth. Then Dr. Alvarez will meet with you and your little one to discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.

Finally, one of our hygienists will clean and polish the patient’s teeth, and inspect for cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis.

Bring your youngster’s smile, but also remember to bring these to the first appointment

• Your completed patient packet
• A valid driver’s license 
• A legal guardian to accompany the child to the appointment

Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!

The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy.

We understand your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember an appointment can last between 20 and 40 minutes.
