Gentle sedation dentistry for children who need extra care

What to Expect on Your Child’s First Visit to Sparkling Charms:

1. Get to Know You: The first visit is all about understanding your child's dental history and current health. We'll discuss treatment options too.

2. Bring Essential Items: Please bring any referral slips, previous dental X-rays, a list of current medications, allergy or medical condition information, and medical/dental insurance details.

3. Possibility of Same-Day Treatment: Depending on the consultation, we may offer treatment on the same day. Complex cases may require a follow-up appointment.

4. Important Medical Info: Inform us of any significant medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart issues, as these can influence dental care.

5. Parental Presence: Children under 18 must come with a parent or guardian.
Note: If your child has had dental X-rays in the past six months, you can forward them to our office or bring them to your appointment.
