Office Visits
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and 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 son or daughter feel comfortable visiting our practice while we provide the best possible care.
Your first visit is all about your child: his or her comfort, happiness, and health
During your little one’s first visit, we will review the dental and medical history forms, and take any necessary X-rays of teeth and mouth. Then Dr. Suarez Martinez will meet with you and your child to discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan, and answer any questions you may have.
At the next visit, one of our registered dentall assistants will clean and polish your youngster’s teeth. Dr. Suarez Martinez will check for any cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis.

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. They also recommend your child see a pediatric dentist at one year of age or when the first tooth comes in, to evaluate for any enamel issues and provide oral hygiene instructions.
We understand your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember an appointment can last between 20 and 40 minutes.
