1850-B Scenic Hwy N, Snellville, GA 30078
(770) 676-1122Our process for family dentistry in Snellville, GA is always, even if nothing is done on the child, have the child come in with the parent for a regular checkup and cleaning. It's a non-traumatic procedure, they get to meet the hygienist, they meet the other staff, they see the treasure chest. Just something how we brush and clean mom and dad's teeth, and they get start to get used to it. Usually by 3 years old, we'd like to get them into the chair and hopefully doing a method of tell-show-do – explain what we're going to do, we're going to count their teeth and initially we may just brush their teeth with a toothbrush, but we want to make sure we build that bond and trust with them so that way, they're comfortable going forward.
Same thing on the flip side of it. With the patients that are elderly, that we can provide them all types of care even as they progress and maybe losing some of their teeth by either utilizing dentures or partials or even implants.
Parkway Dental : Family Dentistry in Snellville, GA
At Parkway Dental, we love caring for the whole family. While we are not a strictly pediatric practice (our patient base is comprised primarily of 25- to 60-year-olds), we can provide all the dental care you need for every member of your family with our family dentistry option, kids included. Below you will find information on your child’s first visit to our office, preventive dental care, and how to schedule an appointment.
We aim to make every person who visits our office feel comfortable and at home while in our care. This means taking extra special precautions to accommodate children when necessary. We will work hard to help your child feel comfortable and provide the care they need.
On your child’s first visit to our office, they will undergo the whole routine of checking in, having X-rays and other images taken, getting a cleaning, and being thoroughly examined by both the doctor and hygienist. We try to make this process as simple as possible for both adults and children.
However, if your child is under the age of four, we do something a little different. Instead of the full examinations, X-rays, and cleanings, we do a simple visit just to get started. At this first visit, your child may want to jump in on a sibling’s or parent’s appointment just to see how everything works. The purpose of doing the visit like this is to get them familiar and comfortable in our office and with our staff. We can do a simple assessment of your child’s dental situation to look for development issues and any other potential problems. This should be a very low-stress visit for both you and your child.
If you have any questions about your child visiting our dental office, please call and talk to a member of our team. We would love to help calm any concerns you may have.
