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 little one’s first visit, we will review his or her dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of the teeth and mouth. After X-rays, one of our assistants will clean, polish and floss.
Then the hygentist with come to scale, and assess the gums to check for gingivitus. Finally, Dr. Jensen will meet with you and your child to discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.
Bring your little one’s smile, but also remember to bring these to the first appointment:
- Your completed patient information form
- Your insurance card
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.
