What You'll Experience at Your First Visit as a New Patient
Comprehensive Exam
A gentle, thorough assessment of your child's teeth and gums, with plenty of time to answer questions and share guidance.
Standard Cleaning
A kid-friendly cleaning to keep smiles fresh and healthy.
Fluoride Treatment
While most toothpastes and some drinking water contain small amounts of fluoride, Dr. Amy will apply a higher concentration of fluoride to provide maximum protection from tooth decay.
Necessary X-Rays
Safe, routine x-rays to help us catch issues early and provide the best care for your child.

What happens after my first visit?
If no issues are found, we'll simply schedule your child's next preventive visit in six months. If treatment is needed, we'll go at your pace, offering clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way.
Will my child see the same dentist at every visit?
Yes. Your child will consistently see Dr. Amy Waxman at every visit, rather than rotating between different providers. Dr. Amy believes this continuity builds trust with parents and creates a more personal, family-oriented experience — she gets to know your child, their comfort level, and their unique needs over time, making each visit feel familiar and less intimidating.
What pediatric dental services do you offer?
We provide comprehensive pediatric dental care with a strong focus on prevention, early intervention, and healthy development. Services include pediatric dentistry, dental care for babies and toddlers, preventive dentistry (cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, sealants, tooth-colored fillings), special needs dentistry, sedation dentistry, tooth extractions, and orthodontics, available in-office as part of your child's complete smile journey.
Creating Positive Dental Experiences
Every child is different, and their care should be too. Whether your child is outgoing and curious or a little nervous about the dentist, we meet them where they are, with patience, kindness, and extra time when needed. We're always welcoming new patients, and your child will see the same doctor, or orthodontist, at every visit.
