For New Patients

Your First Visit

Our patient coordinator will review the health history form with you and will explain to your child what he or she should expect on their first visit. In contrast to adults, we have found that children are more apt to have a positive dental experience if they are in an open bay area.

While adults prefer to be alone with privacy, children prefer to see and sit next to other children. Therefore, after reviewing the health history and discussing any parental concern, we will escort the patient to the open examination area. He or she will be sitting next to their siblings or other children in a comfortable kid friendly setting. Our office is designed with a large window area that allows you to observe the dental cleaning, examination and overall fun environment we have created for your child.

Depending on need, X-rays may be taken to determine your child’s present dental condition and development.

Dr. Morrow, Dr. Lai, or Dr. Kitterman will examine the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and evaluate your child’s bite relationship. After the exam is complete the doctor will discuss any treatment needs with you in a private consultation room. Additional services will usually be scheduled for a later visit.
