When You Visit Our Office

It is best to schedule your child's first visit to our office between the ages of 12 to 24 months. Before the first visit, a health questionnaire and patient information form needs to be completed. During the first visit, Dr. Villegas will examine your child's mouth and jaws to get an indication of how the teeth are forming. Dr. Villegas will explain any problems that exist and the dental care (both in our office and at home) needed to treat and prevent such instances. Dr. Villegas encourages you to ask as many questions as you like. Your child's teeth will be cleaned and x-rays, if necessary, will be taken. Further treatment may occur at this visit or at a follow-up visit.

Appointments and Emergencies

We understand that children add a new dimension to our lives. We therefore offer convenient appointments and flexible office hours. We work with each family to accommodate your special needs.

We ask that, should you need to cancel your appointment, please contact our office 48 hours in advance. We would like to be able to offer that time to another patient. Unfortunately, if we are not given enough notice, we will need to charge your account for the missed appointment.

Please do not hesitate to call us if you feel your child is experiencing a dental emergency (pain, swelling, lost filling, knocked out or fractured teeth.) You can reach us through our main number at all times.
