Designed for Growing Smiles
We are so excited to welcome your family to Alexandria Children's Dentistry! We know that choosing a dentist for your child is an important decision, and we want to make the process as easy and comfortable as possible. Whether your child is coming in for their very first visit or you're switching to a new practice, we're here to guide you every step of the way.
Our practice is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and high-quality dental care. We understand your child may feel anxious about visiting the dentist, but rest assured, we are sensitive to children’s needs, and it is our goal to make your son or daughter feel comfortable visiting our practice while we provide the best possible care.
Your First Visit is All About Your Child: His or Her Comfort, Happiness, and Health
During your child’s first visit, we will review the dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of his or her teeth. One of our hygienists will clean and polish your child’s teeth, and inspect for cavities. Then one of our doctors will meet with you and your child to discuss the X-rays, help create an individual treatment plan (if needed), and answer any questions you may have.

Regular Checkups Are an Important Part of Maintaining a Healthy Smile
The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep their teeth and gums healthy.
We understand your family has a busy schedule, so when you’re preparing for a dental visit, please remember an appointment can last between 20 and 40 minutes.
