Making Your Child’s First Visit Fun and Easy
What can you expect at that critical first appointment?
At every appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Dr. Brittany. She takes time to review your child’s needs, answer all your questions, and learn about your specific concerns, ensuring every visit is personalized and reassuring.
On your child’s first appointment, we'll do a comprehensive exam, a cleaning, and a customized treatment plan, all at their pace. We won't rush treatments; this visit is about making it comfortable and fun for your child, which is why we’ll use positive language, Dr. Brittany will be in her everyday clothing, and get down to their level.
We believe your child’s dental treatment plan is a partnership. We don’t tell you what your child needs. Instead, we provide our honest recommendations and let you make the decisions. This is your child’s smile, and we want you to feel confident in the oral health decisions you make for them.

The entire experience at this office from booking to the end is FIVE STARTS. They got us in quickly and were able to see all of my children at the same time. The staff is so nice and easy to work with. Dr Britanny is so knowledgeable and gives you great education on keeping your kids dental health in check. I cannot recommend the office more!!
