On behalf of our entire Pediatric Smiles team, welcome! We’re excited to meet you and set your child up for dental success. We also recommend talking with your child about their upcoming visit. Assure them that the dentist and staff will take time to explain all procedures and answer any questions they may have. Visit our blog for tips on relieving dental anxiety.
Worried about visiting a pediatric dentist? Check out the most commonly asked questions for first appointments!
At every exam we will review your child’s health history; take any necessary x-rays; clean your child’s teeth (if any are present); conduct a thorough clinical examination of your child’s mouth, palate, gums, tongue and teeth; and teach them about good food choices and how to brush and floss their teeth. Prevention in dentistry is the best treatment we can offer!
For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.
We accept many forms of dental insurance. Please call us at (816) 479-5562 to determine if we can help you and your family with your specific dental care plan.
Families with dental insurance will be asked to provide insurance information when you call to make your child’s first dental appointment. We will verify your insurance eligibility and benefits as best we can before you arrive.
Our staff will advise you of the estimated co-payment for the first visit and will complete a written Financial Arrangement for any treatment needed after your child’s examination is complete. You will be required to pay your estimated co-payment portion the day that services are scheduled for your child.
