Below, we’ve included some important pediatric dental information for our new patients in Independence, like what to expect for your child’s first visit and dental insurance information. If you have additional questions that aren’t answered after reading this page, please don’t hesitate to call our pediatric dental office.

Your Child’s First Dental Visit

Our team is trained to provide comfortable and effective dental care to infants, toddlers, and older children, so we try to be as punctual, gentle, and educational as possible. We’ll begin by greeting you and your child and getting to know them a little better before jumping into our examination. We’ll count their teeth while investigating for any signs of decay. If we notice any cavities or other issues, we’ll speak with you about them before administering any treatments. We’ll then clean, polish, and floss their pearly whites to make sure no plaque or tartar linger, as well as provide them with a fluoride treatment to strengthen their enamel.
