New Patients
Welcome to the neighborhood
Overview
We know a first visit can feel like a big step. Here is what to expect when you join the Northside Pediatric Dentistry family.
Scheduling Your Visit
New patients can request an appointment online or by phone. Our team will confirm a time that works for your family and let you know anything helpful to bring along.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
A getting-to-know-you visit
Your first visit is as much about getting comfortable with our team as it is about your child’s teeth. We take it at your child’s pace.
What to bring
Please bring a form of payment — we accept cash, check, and credit or debit cards — and any notes about your child’s dental history you would like to share.
