Pediatrics
Hey Kids: We are so excited for your visit!
At your appointment, we will get to talk about all sorts of amazing things that happen inside your mouth (like losing teeth….or how your tongue print is just like a thumbprint…everyone’s is different!). Our job is to help you stay healthy and to teach you about taking care of your smile.
Sometimes our teeth and gums need a little extra help, and that is where your dentist steps in! No need to be nervous…your dentist is gentle, friendly, and might even have a few funny jokes! We will see you soon!
FAQ
My child already has a dentist they love, do they really need to see an Oral Surgeon?
Your child’s dentist is just like a regular Doctor – Some perform surgery, others don’t.
If your our pediatric dentist has referred your child to an Oral Surgeon, they feel that is the best fit for the treatment your kiddo needs. An Oral Surgeon’s skillset and level of experience can help ensure that your child’s procedure goes smoothly and achieves the desired outcome with as little discomfort, complications, and down time as possible!
Trusting an Oral Surgeon with your child’s oral health means that you have a doctor who has undergone specialty training, with years of experience performing the procedure your child needs.
How do specialists work with my child’s primary care dentist?
Our team works hand in hand with your child’s dentist to ensure that especially procedures like oral surgery go smoothly! The process typically begins with a referral from your child’s regular dentist. This referral is sent to our office with the necessary information and records. We will reach out to you directly to set up either a consultation or an appointment for treatment.
We know that the decision of who to trust with your child’s health is an important one! Communication is the cornerstone of our patient experience, and we work hard to ensure that you feel informed and in control of your kiddo’s treatment and that your child’s dentist is included in pre and post-treatment plans.
Do you accept my child’s dental insurance?
When it comes to insurance, we work with your insurance provider directly to provide you with a clear understanding of your benefits and bill your insurance directly for the cost of your child’s treatment. Align Dental Group is in-network with almost all major PPO insurance plans and also offers payment plans, cash discounts, and financing options for all budgets.
