payment to one per calendar year instead of the recommended two. If you would like to request that your child receive only one fluoride treatment per year, please inform one of our staff members when you child arrives for their cleaning visit. If you have a concern about how your insurance company pays for fluoride treatment, we encourage you to contact a service representative at your insurance company.

 

 

Your Child Needs X-Rays

We feel it is our obligation to give the child patient the very best in dental care. To accomplish this goal we must have at our command all diagnostic aids, including x-rays. Looking at the teeth alone without x-rays misses over 60% of dental decay. A tooth may even be abscessed without evidence of pain or swelling. Only an x-ray can show this to us. As far as safety, we utilize minimum radiation dosage, protective lead aprons, and the most modern equipment available.
