Your First Visit

By the age of one year old, we recommend that your child has his or her first dental visit. Our dedicated pediatric dentist, Dr. Adam Ungaro, is board-certified and has extensive experience working with young children to help them feel as comfortable as possible at their appointments.

There are many reasons why you may be bringing your child in for a pediatric dentistry appointment or consultation. Perhaps your child has simply never been to the dentist before and needs his or her first dental check-up—or maybe you’ve noticed an abnormality on one of your child’s teeth that you want to have evaluated. Regardless, our friendly and compassionate team is here to help.

We understand that many young children are anxious about coming to the dentist for the first time, which is why we go out of our way to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. This includes maintaining a welcoming and kid-friendly lobby and waiting room, as well as allowing a parent to accompany small children through many procedures.

During your child’s first pediatric dentistry appointment with us, we will typically recommend a comprehensive examination that includes X-rays and photographs. If you’ve brought your child in for a specific dental concern, we will address this (as well as present any treatment options) during this appointment. If further treatment is recommended, we’re also happy to review your insurance benefits and provide you with a general timeline and cost breakdown of your estimated out-of-pocket expenses.
