What Happens During Your Child's Visit?
Let's peek behind the curtain of our cleanings and exams:
1. Welcome Time! (5 minutes)
We'll take you on a special office tour as soon as you arrive. Our friendly team will greet you with warm smiles, and your child can pick their favorite show to watch during their visit.
2. Picture Time! (5-10 minutes)
Next, we'll take X-rays with our gentle equipment. We love showing kids the cool pictures of their teeth on our big screen, where we can point out any hidden spots that might need extra attention.
3. Cleaning Time! (20-30 minutes)
Now comes the fun part! We'll start by counting all those teeth together. Our special toothbrush will help make their smile sparkle bright. We'll paint on some vitamin paste (fluoride) to strengthen teeth and share some fun brushing moves they can practice at home.
4. Check-up Time! (10-15 minutes)
Dr. Ramolia will look for any teeth that might need extra love and share exciting discoveries about their growing teeth. Every check-up ends with a big high-five for being such a fantastic patient!
5. Smile Time!
The grand finale includes picking a special prize from our treasure chest, scheduling their next dental adventure, and receiving a special report card for being a tooth-brushing star!
