The Appointment Process
Step 1: Gentle Cleaning
During your child’s first visit, our friendly dental assistant will perform a gentle, thorough cleaning to remove plaque and buildup — helping your little one leave with a fresh, healthy, and happy smile.
Step 2: Comprehensive Exam
Next, Dr. Justin will carefully examine your child’s teeth, gums, and overall oral development to ensure everything is growing just as it should. This step helps us detect any early concerns and keep your child’s smile on track.
Step 3: Personalized Treatment Plan
After the cleaning and exam, Dr. Justin will review your child’s oral health and create a custom treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. Our goal is to help your child build strong, confident dental habits for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

How to Prepare Your Child for Their Dental Visit
Did you know that great dental appointments begin before you even arrive at the office? With a little preparation and positivity, you can help your child feel confident and excited for their first visit to Enchanted Pediatric Smiles. Here’s how:
Stay Positive
Talk about the dentist in a fun, upbeat way! Use encouraging words and focus on how the dentist helps keep their smile healthy and bright. A positive attitude from you helps your child feel the same way.
Be Their Brushing Buddy
Turn brushing and flossing into a game! Play your child’s favorite two-minute song while you brush together — it builds good habits and helps them look forward to dental care.
Get Artsy
Grab some crayons and draw happy smiles together! Count the teeth — 10 on top, 10 on the bottom — and show how fun it is to take care of them.
Read On
Snuggle up with a kid-friendly dental storybook before their visit. Stories featuring cheerful characters and friendly dentists help your little one know what to expect and feel more comfortable about their big day. With these simple steps, your child’s first dental visit can be filled with smiles, excitement, and confidence!
