New Pediatric Dental Patient Information Garland
The Start of Your Child’s Successful Smile Journey
Is your child’s appointment at our Garland office drawing closer? We are so excited to welcome you to our office! We would ask that before you arrive, you spend at least a few minutes reviewing some of the relevant new patient information that we’ve provided below; this should give you a better idea of what to expect and help ensure that on the big day, things move as efficiently and pleasantly as possible. As always, if you’re still uncertain about something or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us today!
Your Child’s First Visit
As soon as you and your child enter our office, you’ll be warmly greeted by our front desk staff who will quickly get you checked in and ensure that all appropriate paperwork is completed. When it’s time, we’ll take you and your child back to one of our open bays to begin the initial examination. We’ll take X-rays if needed, perform a tactile examination of their oral structures, and carry out a detailed teeth cleaning before sitting with you to discuss our findings and go over your child’s specific needs. From there, it’s a matter of determining a relevant treatment plan and scheduling the next appointment!
Patient Forms
One of the simplest ways you can help to ensure a smooth and efficient appointment for your child at our office is by filling out all of the requested patient forms beforehand. This lets us enter them into our system more quickly, have instant access to their medical records and notes, and above all else, helps us to get to know your child and their smile before we meet them! To make this as convenient as possible, we’ve included a link below that will allow you to complete and submit this paperwork digitally.
