New Patient Information

We have created a storybook app entitled “A Trip to the Dentist” for all of our anxious patients. Download and let your child learn what he/she will see and hear during the first visit!

Appointment times are reserved exclusively for your child. We ask that you please notify our office 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your appointment.

Our doctors encourage parents of preschool children to request morning appointments, when children are fresher and more receptive to new experiences. School-age children can be seen throughout the day (dental appointments are generally an excused absence).

If your child experiences pain or has an emergency situation, please see our Emergency Procedures.

You are always welcome to accompany your child to the treatment room. We invite you to stay with your child during the initial examination. During future appointments, we encourage you to allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience as we work to develop that all-important bond of trust and rapport.

Should your child need treatment, you are also welcome to join us in the treatment area. Special chairs are provided for parent comfort. However, we ask all parents to be a “silent partner” in the treatment rooms so that Dr. Moore, at all times, engages the attention and cooperation of the patient under her care.

As part of providing gentle dental care for children, Pediatric Dentistry of Central Georgia utilizes the latest, low-dose digital Xray technology. X-rays, or radiographs as they are more properly called, allow us to diagnose and treat health conditions that cannot be detected during a clinical examination. If dental problems are found and treated early, dental care is more comfortable for your child — and more affordable for you. Dental X-rays represent a far smaller risk than an undetected and untreated dental problem.
