First Dental Visit At Capital Pediatric Dentistry we strive to make your child's visit educational and enjoyable. We want your child to feel good about visiting the dentist and understand the importance of taking care of their teeth. As parents, you can help us make your child's visit a positive one.   It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as "needle", "shot", "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.   What will your child experience during their first visit to Capital Pediatric Dentistry? * All teeth and soft tissues will be fully examined * Occlusion (the way our teeth fit together) will be evaluated * Discussions with you and your child on any habits (thumb-sucking, pacifiers, bottles, etc.) * Digital x-rays will be taken (as needed) to diagnose cavities, infections, position and location of un-erupted teeth * Teeth will be cleaned and polished * Fluoride treatments will be provided (when appropriate) * Brushing, flossing, and diet will be reviewed and outlined  In addition to these services, Dr. Crippen will be available to address any specific questions or concerns that you may have. We value the trust you place in us as part of your child's healthcare team, and appreciate your cooperation in creating a positive, confidence boosting experience for your child! |
