Our
office and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, AAPD, recommend
that
It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as needle, pull, drill or hurt. The office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child. We invite you to stay with your child during the initial examination. During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Our purpose is to gain your child's confidence and overcome apprehension. However, if you choose, you may come with your child to the treatment room. 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 strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one!

Dr.
Johnson and his friendly staff believe every question you have, whether
dental or administrative, is important. To insure that you have all the
information you need, we promise to answer all your questions and speak
candidly with you about your child’s symptoms, treatments and our
recommendations. Working together, we can keep your child’s smile
beautiful and healthy with quality care that fits into your budget. In
addition to filing insurance forms for you, we offer the dental fee plan
and gladly accept Master Card, Visa, Discover, and American Express. Our
staff will be happy to assist you with any questions you have.
your
child visit the dentist by his/her 1st birthday. You can make the
first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Your child should be
informed of the visit and told that the dentist and his staff will explain
all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the
visit, the better.
We are all highly experienced in helping children overcome anxiety.
Separation anxiety is not uncommon in children, so please try not to be
concerned if your child exhibits some negative behavior. This is normal
and will soon diminish. Studies and experience have shown that most
children over the age of 3 react more positively when permitted to
experience the dental visit on their own and in an environment designed
for children.
