How Are Appointments Scheduled ?
The office attempts to schedule appointments at your convenience and when time is available. If your child is under the age of 6, we recommend that you schedule a morning appointment for your child. Younger children are more cooperative when they are well rested.
Since appointed times are reserved exclusively for each child, we ask that you please notify our office 24 business hours in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your appointment. We realize that unexpected things can occur, but we ask for your assistance in this regard. If your child misses an appointment without notifying us 24 business hours in advance, a cancellation fee will be applied to your account.
Do I Stay With My Child During The Visit ?
A visit to the dental office presents the young child with a lot of new and unfamiliar experiences. All efforts will be made to gain the confidence and cooperation of our patients by warmth, humor, explanation and friendly persuasion. High quality dental care for children is our goal. Our office will make a great effort to ensure that your child feels comfortable in these new surroundings.
A parent is welcome to accompany their child on their first visit to view our office and to meet Dr. Pike and the staff. Parents are also welcome to accompany their child on subsequent visits as long as they remain a silent observer in order to allow Dr. Pike to communicate with the patient. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children and family members who are not being treated must remain in the reception area with a supervising adult.
If you choose to accompany your child on their first visit, we ask that you please remain silent as a supportive observer.
Organic and Natural Products
Dr. Pike will provide information at the first visit on what products will be best suited for your child. Dr Pike focuses on organic and all natural products for teething, tooth brushing, etc. Dr Pike believes in safe, non-toxic products are the best for all children. All products used in our office are latex free and gluten free.
Low Dose Radiation X-Rays
X-rays detect much more than cavities. For example, X-rays may be needed to examine erupting teeth, diagnose bone diseases, evaluate the results of an injury or plan orthodontic treatment. X-rays allow Dr. Pike to diagnose and treat conditions that cannot be detected during a clinical examination. If dental problems are found and treated early, dental care is more comfortable and affordable.
Patients cannot feel pain with small cavities in between their teeth. With the use of x-rays, Dr. Pike can determine whether or not small cavities are present and can recommend multiple options of treatment (not just drilling and filling). Finding cavities early will help prevent treatment such as root canals and crowns.
The frequency of x-ray films is determined by your child’s individual needs. Dr. Pike does not treat every patient the same. Dr. Pike's equipment filters out unnecessary x-rays and restricts the x-ray beam to the area of interest. Dr. Pike uses digital x-rays and proper shielding to assure that your child receives a minimal amount of radiation exposure.
