Give your kids a great start building good oral hygiene habits and monitor their progress as they grow into their beautiful smiles. We understand how challenging and rewarding family care can be and kids need extra special consideration. Having a healthy smile is such an important part of childhood, let’s get them started on the right path with guidance that’s personalized for their needs.
Getting ready for your first appointment
Feel free to talk to your child about the upcoming trip to the dentist. The main purpose of your child’s first visit is to relax, have some fun, and start building a positive relationship with the dentist. Sometimes, not knowing what to expect can make people feel a little nervous. Here’s what your child can expect during their first appointment:
Talk and Listen
We will talk to you and your child, explain what we’re going to do and why and familiarize your child with some of the tools we use. We speak in kid-friendly language and explain any lingo so they can feel as comfortable and assured as possible. See! We’re not so scary after all.
Gently Examine
We will gently examine your child’s gums, tongue, teeth and overall health. Our exam will uncover any areas of concern or tricky spots that may need some extra attention at home. We will provide you with personalized guidance and make a note to pay special attention to those spots during the next appointment.
Educate
We might ask your child to show us how they brush their teeth and then give them gentle instructions on how to improve brushing their teeth at home. We would love to answer any questions you or your child have about dental health.
Contact us today
to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and, most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Absolutely the best dental care I've ever experienced. Steve is knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate - and he has a sense of humour to boot! The office is meticulously clean and is filled with Steve's cool artwork!! The bite adjustment that Dr. Steve performed has been life-changing in treating my migraines and jaw pain. I can't say enough about how great Steve and all the staff at NEO dental are. I've found my forever dentist.

I decided to give them a try after seeing a very cheeky Christopher Walken joke as an advertisement for walk-ins, the best decision a joke has ever led me to! Dr. Steve identified an issue causing migraines within my first visit, game changer! Give them a try!

Dr. Steve is a great guy and a fantastic dentist. The office has some amazing art and even though I'm not a big fan of going to the dentist this place makes it a lot nicer.
