NEW PATIENT VISIT:
WHAT TO EXPECT
Starting your dental care with Dr. Randy is simple and stress free. Our team is here to make your first visit comfortable, informative, and tailored to your needs. Below is everything you need to know before your appointment.
What Your Children Can Expect
We recommend scheduling your child’s first visit when their first tooth emerges or by their first birthday. Dr. Randy even offers a complimentary Free Well Baby Screening for children up to 18 months old!
We focus on creating a positive and fun environment for your child:
Using kid-friendly language and silly euphemisms like “sugar bugs” and “tooth tickles” to explain dental care.
Avoiding terms that might sound intimidating, such as “needle,” “pull,” or “drill.”
Taking extra steps to ensure your child feels comfortable, safe, and cared for.
Our Approach to Dental Anxiety
We understand that some children may feel nervous or display fearful behavior during their dental visits. This is completely normal, especially for young children encountering a new experience. Our team specializes in making those early visits as smooth as possible. A key point to remember is that children under the age of five are typically pre-cooperative, and their first reaction to an unfamiliar situation is often fear. We aim to partner with parents to create the most positive experience possible for your child. We welcome parents into our office to help educate and guide them through this process.
Overcoming Dental Anxiety
BUILDING GOOD HABITS EARLY
We believe that healthy habits start early. During your first visit, we’ll take the time to:
Educate both parents and children about proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Discuss the importance of a healthy diet for dental health.
Foster an ongoing partnership with parents to help create a lifetime of good oral hygiene.
