New Patient Form | My First Visit Personal Coloring Book
Your child should visit the dentist by
his/her 1st birthday.
Dr. Randy offers Free
Well Baby Screenings for children up to 18 months. Dr. Randy and his staff
do everything possible to make your child's first visit and every visit to
the office enjoyable and positive. We will explain all procedures to you
and answer any questions that you or your child might have. Our goal is
to educate and keep dental visits fun so your child(ren) will continue
healthy dental habits long into their adult lives.
It is best if you refrain from using words around your
child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as "needle", "pull", "drill"
or "hurt". Instead we use "sleepy
juice", "wiggle", "paint the tooth", and "tickle your teeth". The
office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are
pleasant and non-frightening to the child.
If your child is over the age of 3, we ask that you allow
them to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We are all highly
experienced in helping children overcome anxiety. Separation anxiety is not
uncommon in children, so please try not to be concerned if your child
exhibits some negative behavior. This is normal and will soon diminish.
Studies and experience have shown that most children over the age of 3 react
more positively when permitted to experience the dental visit on their own
and in an environment designed for children.
We strive to make each and
every visit to our office a fun one! For your convenience prior to visiting our office, please click below to print the New Patient Health History Form, complete the information and bring it with you to your first visit.
To print the form you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat, please click here to download it for free to your computer. My First Visit Personal Coloring Book
