When visiting Petaluma Kids Dental Care, you can expect a seamless and enjoyable experience for the entire family. As a local Petaluma dentist, we love getting to meet new families and introducing little ones to a life of fun, informative dental care. Here’s what you can expect at your child’s first visit.
During your child’s first appointment, our licensed Registered Dental Assistant will perform a gentle, yet thorough preventive cleaning to promote a happy, healthy smile.
Next, Dr. Austin or Dr. Gupta will carefully take a look at your child’s teeth and gums to ensure their oral health is on the right track and free of any dental issues.
After their preventive treatments, Dr. Austin or Dr. Gupta will discuss your little one’s oral health and recommend a tailored treatment plan made just for their smile success.
Dentistry isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice. At Petaluma Kids Dental Care, we know every child is unique. That’s why our team is delighted to get to know your family and offer multiple treatment options that work with your needs, budget, and desired goals.
