New Patients

Welcome to Aurora Pediatric Dentistry

Your child’s first visit to our practice is a very important milestone. Our staff’s goal is to “Build Healthy Smiles” and establish a lasting relationship with you and your child. Since each child is unique, we will always create a personalized treatment for each patient. We hope that your child’s visits are fun, educational and provide a strong foundation for a lifetime of positive dental experiences.


At the first visit, we will:

♥ Give you and your child an opportunity to meet Dr. Chris and answer any questions you may have

♥ Review your child’s overall health and oral health including their dental growth and development, cavity risk factors and prevention of dental trauma/accidents

♥ Exam/clean your child’s teeth and apply fluoride. If your child is very young, your child will be on your lap in a “knee to knee position” so that your child can be close to you while we examine and provide treatment

♥ Demonstrate to both parents and child how to properly brush and floss your child’s teeth

♥ Take x-rays, if necessary and age appropriate

♥ Review previous home care habits and discuss brushing and flossing, diet, and safe fluoride use

♥ Discuss potential dental treatment needs or referrals for your child

♥ Positively reinforce cooperative behavior throughout the appointment
