Scheduling and consultations

How to schedule your child's appointment

To schedule your child's appointment, whether it is the first one or a follow-up checkup, please call us during office hours, or use the contact form on our website to leave us a message. For younger children, we recommend an appointment in the morning, as they're able to tolerate treatment much better during this time.

One of our team members will get in touch with you to confirm your child's appointment the day before. In case you want to cancel an appointment, we kindly request that you do so at least 24 hours before the scheduled date and time.

We request all our patient families to try and be on time for appointments in order to avoid delaying other scheduled patients.

Friendly team welcoming a young patient
Care for every child

We care for all our patients equally

It is recommended that a child's first dental appointment be scheduled before the age of one year, preferably as soon as the first tooth erupts. Afterwards, regular checkups at six-month intervals are necessary for preventative care and prompt treatment when necessary.

Whether it has been more than six months, or if your child has never been to a dentist before, we believe that it is never too late for anyone to correct a problem and improve their dental health. Dr. Scott and our friendly team warmly welcome you to Gold River Pediatric Dentistry to see how we can improve your child's oral health and give them a happy smile.

For proper assessment of your child's dental needs, please book your appointment at Gold River Pediatric Dentistry today.
