The beginning of the school year is an excellent time to book your family’s first dental appointment with us. If you’re new to the area or are looking to establish dental care in Indianapolis, we are thrilled to welcome you. 

Why Book Your First Appointment at the Start of the School Year

People of all ages get cavities, but kids are especially prone to tooth decay. Cavities can be painful and distracting during school lessons. Seeing the dentist early in the school year helps ensure your child has a decay-free smile and is more comfortable, free of the pain of cavities. 

The dentist can also apply or touch up dental sealants to protect their teeth from decay until their second annual visit. 

For adults, especially homemakers or those who work from home, it can be much easier to see the dentist while the kids are at school. 

What to Expect at Your First Visit

You can expect a warm greeting and attention to detail!

We provide comprehensive dental exams and teeth cleanings, so you’ll never feel rushed during your appointment. Your dentist in Indianapolis also sets aside plenty of time to share findings with you and lay out all the treatment options. 

Of course, we also welcome your questions. 

If it is your first visit, bring the following items:

  • ID
  • Dental Insurance Card
  • Completed Paperwork
  • Potential Copay
  • Recent Films or Diagnoses

We aim to establish a relationship with you and your family. We want to ensure you feel comfortable and that children enjoy visiting the dentist.
