To the Parents of Pediatric Dental Patients:
We would like to welcome you and your children to Riverdale Pediatric Dentistry. As you may or may not know, a Pediatric Dentist is a dentist who has undergone a rigorous and specialized two to three year training program beyond dental school that uniquely prepares them to care for your child's special dental needs. The pediatric patient generally requires a different treatment approach than do adult patients. Children are not "small adults" neither physiologically nor psychologically. It is our goal to provide your child with the highest quality of dental care consistent with the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry guidelines.

Please give us your full cooperation by becoming a partner in your child's dental treatment and observing the office policies outlined below.

In the treatment area:
Parents or guardians are encouraged to be in the treatment area during the initial exam so they may become acquainted with the dental office, its personnel and have the opportunity to review treatment needs with the specialist. At subsequent appointments, the presences of the parent or guardian in the treatment area will be established depending on the patient's needs. Parents or guardians are routinely asked to escort/accompany special needs children and those 3 years of age and younger. We discourage other children being allowed in the treatment rooms while siblings are receiving their dental care. This is done to ensure your child receives the best care under optimum and safe conditions.

Rescheduled and failed appointments:
If you wish to reschedule your child's appointment, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours advance notice. Cancellations received less than 24 hours will be considered a last minute failed appointment. Three (3) failed appointments may result in dismissal from our clinic. Families who fail appointment dates with multiple children scheduled may not be allowed to schedule their children on the same day again.

Emergency treatment:
If your child has an emergency such as trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, pain or swelling, please call the office at 763-767-1524. If it is after hours the on call doctor will return your call.

Thank you.
