What to expect on your first visit

Our goal here at Kids City Dental is to make your child’s dental visit an easy and fun experience, especially their first! We understand some children and parents have reservations about visiting the dentist. A lot of these feelings come from not knowing what to expect. At our office, we are a big believer in showing and explaining everything we do in a fun way to your child. In doing so, we can eliminate any worries about the visit and gain the child’s confidence to set us up for a great appointment.

For every child to have a positive experience at their dental appointment, it is really important for each child to have a “fresh start” without any negative outside influences. Sometimes parents and older siblings want to prepare your little ones what to expect before and during a dental appointment, however, you can inadvertently share your own dental anxiety and fear with your child. Please avoid using threatening words like “shot”, “needle”, “pull”, “drill” and “pain”.

This was our second visit to kids city. The facility is bright and clean, and the staff is extremely friendly. Brianna took care of my three year old today, and was incredibly friendly, patient, and kind. We are very happy with the care he has received!

Came here for the first time with my two children and they did amazing. My children were comfortable and entertained the whole time. It went very smoothly. All the ladies at the front desk were super sweet and nice. Lupita was great and very helpful. Definitely will be our new regular dentist for the whole family.

Dr. McFarlin and all the staff at Kids City are amazing! They are all so polite and they took such good care of my daughter! I couldn’t ask for a better experience for her! Thank you all so much! Wish I could get dental work done here with the kids!
