Before trusting us with your little ones' dental care, we understand you may have some questions. For your convenience, we've compiled answers to some commonly asked questions below. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!

How Do I Get Emergency Pediatric Care?

Your child’s oral health is our primary concern, and we are prepared to provide immediate assistance in case of a dental emergency. Should your little one encounter such a situation, contact our practice right away. Our team is ready to support you and navigate you through the process.

If needed, we’ll prioritize your child's appointment for the same day. Prompt attention to dental emergencies is necessary as they may indicate underlying issues. It’s important to note that regular appointments are essential for preventing future complications and protecting your child's precious smile!

How Do I Find the Best Place to Get Pediatric Dental Work Done?

Choosing the right dental provider for your family requires careful consideration of your priorities. Start by asking yourself the following question to determine your preferences:

Once you've identified potential practices, assess their approach to patient care. Personalized attention and individualized interactions are crucial for your child's comfort. You can review patient testimonials and the credentials of the doctors and staff on their website. Custom photos and videos can provide deeper insights into their practice culture. Make sure you choose a dentist who aligns seamlessly with your family's needs and preferences.

How Can I Schedule a Same-Day Appointment?

To secure a same-day appointment, contact our practice directly via phone. Avoid sending emails as they may not receive the prompt response you’re seeking. By speaking with us over the phone, we can quickly assess your child's situation and determine the necessity of a same-day visit.

Alternatively, you can submit an appointment request form on our website. Upon receiving your submission, a member of our team will promptly reach out to confirm your request and address any questions you may have.

What Do You Do If You Can’t Afford a Dentist?

Preventive care is key to maintaining a healthy smile. Regular checkups and cleanings every six months can help avoid serious dental issues. If you have dental insurance, you can use it to offset the cost of your child's dental care. We accept most major PPO insurance plans and Medicaid.
