The first birthday is the time for the first dental visit. Waiting until all the baby teeth have come in is not necessary and is often too late for children that are at high risk for early childhood cavities. Do not wait until your child is in pain or you notice problems!

Your child's first visit to our office is the most important one. This will be the time for us to establish trust and understanding between Dr. Ben, your child, our staff, and yourself.

To help our younger patients become more comfortable with dental treatment, Dr. Villalon can perform a "knee-to-knee" exam, easing your child's apprehension.

For this first visit, we will require a legal guardian to accompany the child due to federal and state laws and regulations. If necessary, please provide court documentation of guardianship. Also we ask that you arrive on time to this first visit as there will be forms and policies to be filled out. To save time, you may print some of these forms out in advance on this site to bring in with you. Please do not sign this form as we will require that it is signed in our presence.

We strive to make you and your child feel comfortable as we welcome you into our dental family. Once all of the necessary forms and paperwork are completed, our patient coordinator will bring you and your child into our new patient area. She will review your child’s medical history and current dental concerns. Dr. Villalon will then conduct a thorough examination and discuss any necessary treatment and answer any dental questions.

During this time, our administrative staff will enter the needed treatment into our computer system. Our treatment coordinator, will then present you with a comprehensive treatment plan and financing options that may be needed. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American express as well as personal checks and cash for your portion of treatment fees. We also offer no down payment plans available based upon your credit status as needed. We accept any insurance allowable upon your contract, and will file claims for your convenience.

We will be sure you leave our office knowledgeable and satisfied that you and your child have been cared for well by Dr. Ben and our staff. If you have any questions at any time, please ask!
