What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your child’s first visit can set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy oral habits. We, along with leading organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Dental Association, and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, recommend establishing a Dental Home for your child by their first birthday.
Here’s what you can expect for that all-important first visit to our Cedar Park office:
- Personalized Care and Attention: Our doctors and team take the time to talk to your child, learn about any concerns, and explain each step before performing them.
- Flexible Exam Settings: Depending on your child’s age and comfort level, we’ll perform the exam on a dental bench, chair, or even with your little one sitting in your lap.
- Preventive Strategies: We provide practical advice to keep your child’s mouth healthy, from brushing techniques to what to expect as they grow.
- Comfort is Key: The environment can make all the difference for young children. That’s why our check-ups and cleanings are done in an open, semi-private area that feels welcoming. Families with multiple children find this especially convenient for seamless communication.
- Private Treatment Room Options: Should your child need treatment, it will always be conducted in a private room, where you can join. For families that prefer privacy during cleanings or meet-ups, inform us when booking, and we’ll accommodate your request.
Remember, your child’s comfort is our priority at every step.
