If you are unsure that your child is ready for their first dental visit, you may want to schedule a meet and greet appointment, It will be helpful to receive all your child's registration information prior to scheduling the appointment. You can download the forms from our web site at the patient forms section or we can mail them to you. Once we receive all the appropriate material we will contact you to schedule the meet and greet appointment. The ten minute apointment will consist of meeting the staff, sitting in the chair and receiving a toothbrush. In most cases we will be able to evaluate whether we will be able to schedule further appointments. In the event your child is not ready, we will schedule another appontment in six months and try it again. It is important that parents remember that their apprehension prior and during the first visit and what they say about their past dental experiences will very much influence how their children will behave at their initial visit. 

 

 

 

If you wish to make your child's first visit at All Smiles Dental, it will be helpful to receive all the patient registration material prior to scheduling the initial appointment. You can download the forms from our web site at the patient forms section or we can mail them to you. Once all the registration material is completed and has been received we will contact you to make the first appointment. If your child is transferring from another dental provider and has completed x-rays we will still need to have our own set of appropriate digital x-rays completed at our office. If your childs x-rays are less than six months old, we will provide your childs new x-rays at "no charge".  Due to the complex nature of our digital imaging system and software restrictions we cannot make any exceptions. The first appointment will consist of an exam, appropriate digital x-rays, teeth cleaning, polishing, fluoride and oral hygiene instructions. Following the initial exam Dr. Garrramore will present his dental findings and treatment needs  to the parent or legal guardian. Any further questions about insurance and payment policies will be reviewed by the administrative staff prior to scheduling the next dental visit.

Dr Garramore is the only person that can make that diagnosis for the appropriate cleaning you require.
