At your first visit, you’ll be warmly greeted by a team member. While you check in, your children will find toys to play with in our inviting waiting room. A team member will then escort you back to the treatment area. This is where we’ll go over current oral hygiene practices and dietary choices, and make recommendations.

Dr. Megan or Dr. Ursula will examine your child. We take pride in giving you plenty of time to ask questions. We know some may have anxiety about this first visit. Rest assured, we are equipped to introduce your child to their dental visit in a gentle, but fun way. 

We strive to meet children where they are, and we realize some may require special accommodations. Please let our team know when scheduling how we can help assist to make the visit successful.

We begin seeing children at age 1 as the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends (or within 6 months of the first tooth). This early first visit is meaningful and we will spend the majority of the time discussing preventive care including hygiene, dietary choices, and what to expect as your toddler grows. We are strong believers in the power of prevention and a lot rests on empowering our children’s care providers with the knowledge and tools to be successful.

These visits will take place in a special infant/toddler room with welcoming, age appropriate and engaging toys so your child has a safe place to play while we answer any questions you may have. This isn’t your typical dental office. We’re moms - we get it! We’ve designed our office and each room with a child-centered focus so you feel comfortable, welcomed and taken care of. 

Most children will be seen in our private family suites. These rooms provide enough space for parents to accompany multiple children for appointments. With televisions above the treatment chairs and sensory toys to keep our most active kids busy, you’ll feel right at home during your dental appointment.
