New Patient Forms /
Tooth Fairy Letter
It is best if you refrain from using words around your
child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as needle, pull, drill or
hurt. The office makes a practice of using words that convey the same
message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.
We strive to make each and every visit to
our office a fun one! For your convenience prior to visiting our office, please click on the following links to complete each form and/or read the information and guidelines. Then, bring the forms with you to your first visit.

Your child should visit the dentist by his/her 1st
birthday. You can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and
positive. Your child should be informed of the visit and told that the
dentist and his staff will explain all procedures and answer any questions.
The less to-do concerning the visit, the better. 
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.
