Questions from Woodbridge parents
Plan your child's appointment.
When should my baby first visit a dentist?
A first visit is generally recommended by age one or within six months after the first tooth appears. It can identify concerns early and helps parents establish healthy routines.
Can you help if my child has had a difficult dental experience?
Yes. Call or note the general reason for your request, and the team can discuss previous challenges privately before the appointment. An appropriate comfort plan can be considered after evaluation.
Do you provide care for autistic children?
Yes. The practice welcomes children with autism, sensory sensitivities and other special healthcare needs. The team can discuss communication preferences and useful accommodations before the visit.
Can I request a Saturday appointment?
Yes. Saturday appointments are available. Submit a request or call the office, and the front-desk team will confirm the next suitable appointment.
Does submitting the form book the appointment?
