Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth appearing. At Polished Pediatric Dentistry, we offer free exams for children under 2 to help establish good oral health habits early!
What if my child is anxious or afraid of the dentist?
We get it – dental visits can be scary! That's why we've created a warm, welcoming environment designed to put kids at ease. Dr. Dinah takes time to build trust with each child, explaining procedures in kid-friendly terms. We also offer amenities like in-chair entertainment and a prize station to make visits fun!
Can I accompany my child during the dental visit?
Absolutely! We encourage parents to be present during their child's visit. It helps your child feel more comfortable and allows you to be directly involved in their dental care. We'll show you how to support your child during the visit while allowing our team to build a positive relationship with them.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept a wide range of PPO insurance plans to make quality dental care accessible to more families. Don't have insurance? No worries! We offer an in-house membership plan to help make regular dental care more affordable. Our team is always happy to discuss payment options to ensure your child gets the care they need.
