Office Visits

Parents are always welcome to accompany their child during dental visits, especially during the initial examination. In future appointments, it is best to allow your child to accompany the clinical team through the dental experience. This allows your child to gain confidence and overcome any fears they may have. For the safety and privacy of all patients, children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.

Smiles Children's Dental Center provides an environment where kids feel comfortable and excited about their next dental visit. Your child will be given an exam and then the doctor will have a discussion with you about your child’s specific needs, previous experiences, the required treatment, and what options are available. Together we will then decide the best modality to provide your child the best treatment possible, along with a pleasant dental experience. Smiles Children's Dental Center offers light sedation utilizing nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as well as general anesthesia performed at an outpatient facility to ensure your child’s comfort at all times. Team members work with your patient on a Tell-Show-Do basis to keep them calm and interactive during their visit. There’s no need to over-prepare your child for their first visit. We encourage parents to stay positive and stress-free as children can sense anxiety easily.
