Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, high-quality dental care. We understand that your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist. We are sensitive to children’s needs and it is our goal to make your child feel comfortable visiting our practice while providing the best care possible.
Your first visit is all about your child;
their comfort, happiness & health
During your child’s first visit, we will review their dental and medical history forms, and depending on your child's age and stage of development, take X-rays of their teeth and mouth. Your child’s teeth will be cleaned and polished, either by Dr. Wallengren or one of our terrific Hygienists, and overall dental hygiene will be evaluated and discussed. Dr. Wallengren will meet with you and your child to do an exam, discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions that you may have. We are very flexible, however, and will modify the appointment, as needed, based on your child’s particular needs.

Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!
The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Professional cleanings work in conjunction with diligent home care including brushing twice and flossing once daily.
We understand that your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember that a cleaning appointment is typically scheduled for 30 minutes. We appreciate you arriving promptly so we have the full time needed to complete all phases of the appointment.
