We are specialist in making children’s first Utah dentist visit a great experience

Your child’s first visit to Burg Pediatric Dentistry marks the beginning of your child’s professional oral health care journey. It is also the start of a relationship between your child and our dental office. Once your child’s first teeth begin to appear, we feel that it is important that your child becomes familiar with our office environment and our caring staff.

When you arrive for your first visit, please be prepared to complete all insurance and health information forms that will allow us to begin your dental treatment. We will ask you to fill out several forms that will get you acquainted with our office.

Your initial exam will last approximately one hour. Oral hygiene instructions will be provided along with suggestions to help you care for your teeth. In most cases, we will also clean your teeth on this visit and provide an evaluation that will outline your existing dental problems and proposed treatment.

At your child’s first appointment, the dentist and the staff will give your child special attention and take time to get to know him/her. To help ease any fears your child may have, our friendly staff will explain the different dental procedures and tools in an imaginative and kid-friendly manner.

Your child’s first visit will include:

• an oral hygiene demonstration
• tooth cleaning
• oral examination
• fluoride application
• x-rays (if needed)

At the end of the visit, your child will receive stickers, a prize, a toothbrush and floss. Our playful atmosphere and kind staff will teach your child to be comfortable with dentistry.

After your child’s visit, our staff will provide you with an oral health summary and will explain your child’s dental needs, including any treatment necessary. Your child’s medical health and any special needs or concerns will be addressed with you.

To ensure proper oral health care is maintained, we recommend that your child have a regularly scheduled pediatric dentist visit every six months. In addition to regular visits, proper oral hygiene must be practiced at home in order to prevent cavities, tooth decay, and other serious problems. Baby teeth are crucial for proper chewing and talking, jaw muscle development, and good self image. Regular preventative visits, in conjunction with at home care, will minimize cavities and other dental problems and help keep your child’s teeth healthy and strong.

To schedule a visit for your child, contact us at any one of Burg Pediatric Dentistry’s four convenient Utah locations. We look forward to your visit and the opportunity to be part of your child’s dental experience for years to come.
