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

I have never met people like the staff at New Leaf Pediatric, they are beautiful people, attentive to absolutely everything, they always recommend the best, they always try to make my son feel as calm as possible, I really thank you very much, I love all the staff. They are very attentive to your appointments! My son loves going to this place, they always give him the toy he chooses and he leaves happy.

Another amazing visit at the dentist. No wait times which is essential with kids. My son is now 3 and cannot wait for his dentist appointments. Dr. Cherish I’m is great with kids. She is able to get him to lay still to check, brush, and floss his teeth. She engages with him the whole time and he loves telling her stories. New Leaf is excellent at making kids not only comfortable going to the dentist but actually enjoying it. Highly recommend this office to anyone with kids, especially kids that do not like getting their teeth brushed. You will wish she could make daily house calls.

We have overcome our fear of dentist visits thanks to New Leaf!! The staffs are amazing and Dr. Im is just incredible. My 5 year old with anxiety was able to get his cavity cleaned and filled without a single tear shed! Truly amazing experience :) highly recommended!

This place is amazing. I was a bit nervous about my son who is 4 going to the dentist. Upon walking inside, you have a very clean lobby with kids books and cat in the hat playing. My son was put at ease as soon as he walked inside. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and we were taken inside fast. The exam rooms have Netflix playing on the ceiling for the kids to watch while getting their teeth cleaned. The dentist was very inclusive with my son to make sure to show him how each tool worked before putting in his mouth. It seems the X-ray machine is cutting edge. All they did was put a device in his mouth and push a button. We had a great experience and I hope everyone will come to this office.

My daughter loves Dr. Cherish and her team. We have tried another clinic and was about to go through under anesthesia, they thankfully fixed 8 cavities very easily, with great communication. My daughter loves going to the dentist. Highly recommended!
