YOUR FIRST VISIT

We use kid friendly language and a tell-show-do approach to explain what we are doing so that your child is aware and engaged in every step of the visit.
Here are some key suggestions to prepare you and your child for his or her first dental visit:

  • Tell your child about their upcoming visit to the pediatric dentist.
  • Explain to your child that the pediatric dentist is here to help them have healthy teeth and gums.
  • Please remember to be positive, enthusiastic and convey a sense of goodwill about your child’s upcoming visit.
  • We welcome parents or caregivers in the dental room during your child’s first dental visit. Your presence can be extremely reassuring to your child.
  • Please allow us to conduct the visit. Kindly allow us to explain and answer all questions regarding the dental tools and equipment to your child. We will explain these things in a kid-friendly and non-intimidating manner.

PATIENT REVIEWS

After switching insurance, I searched Google for a new pediatric dentist and was impressed by their excellent reviews. Scheduling an appointment online was seamless, and they even called me the next day to offer an earlier appointment for my two kids. The office exceeded my expectations - it's kid-friendly, spotlessly clean, and welcoming. We waited less than 5 minutes, and the staff were incredibly friendly and gentle with my children. Despite initial nerves, my kids felt at ease and comfortable. The dental care was top-notch, with TVs to keep them entertained during cleaning and x-rays. The best part is they got a surprise reward for good behavior and a goody bag! This thoughtful touch made my kids' experience truly special. I’m so thankful to have found Dr. Cherish and definitely recommend to all parents.

This was my son’s first dentist appointment. He doesn’t like to brush his teeth and has a hard time letting us brush them for him. He never keeps his mouth open for more than a few seconds at a time making it very hard to clean his teeth. My wife and I were nervous he was going to have a hard time at his first dentist appointment. New Leaf Pediatric Dentistry and Dr. Cherish were amazing! They were so good that he actually enjoyed his visit! He kept his mouth open for a very long time for Dr. Cherish. They also have a TV mounted on the ceiling with kids shows which made it relaxing for my son. He also got a toy after his teeth cleaning. When he got home he actually wanted to brush his teeth with the toothbrush they gave him! We highly recommend this dentist for your kids!

I absolutely loved coming here and so did my children (7 and 2). My son had a terrible experience at a different office and I explained that to Dr. Im and she was so understanding and so were the dental assistants. Even the receptionist was reassuring when I made the appointment and told her about his horrible experience. Dr. Im took the time to answer any questions I had and gave excellent feedback and suggeations. They were all just so amazing and also very patient with my 2 year old. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!
