Your First Visit

We’re so excited to welcome you to the Kids Care Dental and Orthodontics family! Whether you’re visiting us for pediatric dentistry or orthodontic care, our goal is to make your first appointment smooth, stress-free, and even fun for both you and your child.

Your first dental visit

For Our Pediatric Dentistry Patients

Your child’s first dental visit is all about getting comfortable and building a foundation of trust. We’ll start with a gentle exam to check teeth, gums, and bite development. Depending on your child’s age and needs, we may also perform a cleaning, take digital X-rays, or apply fluoride for added protection.

We’ll talk through brushing and flossing tips, nutrition, and any questions you have because your involvement is key to a healthy smile. And don’t worry — we go at your child’s pace, using kid-friendly language and a calming approach every step of the way.

For Our Orthodontic Patients

If you’re here for an orthodontic consultation, we’ll take time to fully assess your smile. This includes photos, digital scans with our iTero scanner, and possibly X-rays to evaluate alignment, jaw development, and bite. From there, we’ll walk you through any recommended treatment options — whether that’s metal braces, clear braces, or Spark aligners.

We’ll answer all your questions, talk timelines and costs, and make sure you feel confident moving forward.
