 Family Dentistry First Visit | New Patient Form
The Pediatric First Visit ABOUT PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
This holds very true for visits to medical and
dental offices. The atmosphere of our pediatric dental office and our
highly qualified staff cater specifically to the emotional and physical
needs of your child.
At the first visit we will examine your child,
discuss their dental needs and answer any questions you may have about
oral health. Appropriate digital X-rays, with 90% less radiation, may be
recommended as they are an essential part of a thorough examination. Be
assured, we use the latest equipment and techniques to improve treatment.
It is recommended that most children have a dental check up at least twice
a year. Dr. Crafton will let you know the best appointment schedule for
your child.
As soon as you walk through the front doors of
Crafton Dental, our staff and office environment will put your child at
ease. Our assistants, hygienists and office staff are trained to work with
kids, and make your child's visit to the dentist a pleasant one. There is
a fun room with lots of books, games, computers, and even a castle to help
put your child at ease. Preventive dentistry means a healthy smile for your child. Children with healthy mouths chew more easily and gain more nutrients from the foods they eat. They learn to speak more quickly and clearly. They have a better chance of general health, because disease in the mouth can endanger the rest of the body. A healthy mouth is more attractive, giving children confidence in their appearance. Preventive dentistry means less extensive, and less expensive, treatment for your child.
Examinations, cleanings and fluoride
treatments are all part of your child's prevention program. In addition,
Dr. Crafton can apply sealants to protect your child from tooth decay,
help you select a mouth guard to prevent sports injuries to the face and
teeth, and provide early diagnosis and care of orthodontic problems. Dr.
Crafton is uniquely trained to develop a combination of office and home
preventive care to insure your child a happy smile.

People sometimes
think of children as "small adults" but nothing could be further from the
truth. Children have completely different emotional and physical needs.
When a child expresses fear or apprehension, it is because they truly feel
threatened. By expecting your child to react to situations in a similar
manner to you, you're asking them not to be a child, which really isn't
fair. 
Preventive
dentistry for children includes:
