Your Child’s first visit

Welcome to compassionate care in Charlotte, NC

Welcome to the Office!

We love the littlest ones

We encourage parents to bring their babies in for their first dental check-up when they are around 6 months old, but we welcome all young smiles to our office. No matter your child’s age, initial appointments are joy-filled and specifically designed to introduce your little one to the world of dentistry in a reassuring way. Our heart-led team will count your child’s teeth, introduce them to our dental instruments, and ensure that you and your child leave looking forward to your next visit.

We’re on your team!

During your child’s first appointment, Dr. Patel and our team will meet your child, complete an initial examination, and discuss their dental care and any tongue/lip tie or airway issues - all while providing clear, open, honest, and thorough communication about your little one’s unique needs. We answer all your questions and walk with you every step of the way.

“Fantastic 
first visit”

My son had a FANTASTIC first visit. The team was very friendly in addition to quick and efficient. My son had his teeth cleaned so quickly he didn't even have time to cry. Would definitely highly recommend Dr. Patel and her team!!
