Your child’s first appointment will last approximately 30-60 minutes and includes an exam, dental x-rays (if needed), and time to sit down and talk with our doctors. We will discuss your child’s health history, normal growth and development of the teeth and jaw, and healthy habits to encourage at home. Please use this appointment to ask questions about your child’s oral health and how to best take care of your child’s developing teeth in between office visits.
Tell, Show, Do
Our Tell, Show, Do technique is a huge success! As you might have guessed, this technique encourages your child’s participation and interest in their appointment. Tell, Show, Do makes dental visits educational and meaningful and inspires conversations with our dentists, hygienists, assistants, and our office team. Your child will look forward to their appointment at Gateway Little Smiles!
