Why Families Choose Affinity Dental Clinic
Sedation Dentistry for Children & Adults
Anxiety and stress about dental visits can prevent people from getting the vital oral health care they need. Sedation dentistry allows us to provide relaxation for a patient’s nervous system, allowing them to have a calm and comfortable dental experience.
Emergency Appointments & Same-Day Treatments
Dental issues don’t always arise at the most convenient times, and when that happens, Affinity Dental Clinic is here for you. We leave time in our schedule to accommodate emergency appointments, and frequently have same-day treatments available. Stop by or call to check our schedule for the day!
A Modern, Welcoming Environment
The spaces where we live and work can have a great impact on our comfort and well-being. We’ve designed our dental offices to give you a warm welcome when you drop by or visit us for an appointment, giving you confidence that you’ve chosen the right place for your family’s dental care.
Staff Who Truly Care About Your Well-Being
Health care is an incredibly personalized experience, and we have seen how knowing our patients, their goals, and their lifestyles helps us provide quality dental care. Our team will work to get to know you so we can help you make decisions that will be best for your life and family.
Convenient Location & Times for Busy Families
Fitting in dental care isn’t always convenient, but when your dental office is located in a mall with extended mall hours, it’s a breeze! Our location allows you to pop by to book appointments, come in after work or school, or even stop in for last-minute appointments when they’re available.
Children’s Dentist in Richmond
From toddlers to teenagers, getting a healthy start in life is one of the best gifts a child can receive. Dental health care that begins at an early age is essential for all children, whether they suffer from early dental challenges or seem to be off to a great start.
When to Bring Your Child to the Dentist
Dental visits can start early when issues arise as the milk teeth (baby teeth) erupt in the mouth. However, even children with a healthy start to teething should see a dentist by one year of age or within 6 months of the teeth erupting. This check-up allows us to examine the milk teeth, get to know your new infant’s needs, and provide early preventative techniques for parents.
What to Expect from a Child’s First Visit to the Dentist
A child’s first visit to the dentist will be gentle and quick, giving your child a chance to have an early, positive experience. This can significantly reduce stress and anxiety for children when they visit the dentist as they grow.
Our dental team will welcome you and your child, make sure you’re comfortable, and perform a quick visual examination. Based on this, your dentist may discuss current and future diagnostic and preventative needs, such as dental X-rays, at-home dental hygiene routines, and potential bite issues. We’ll ensure your child is comfortable and happy throughout the process and explain everything in detail as we go so you know what to expect.
How To Help Make a Dental Visit Smooth & Stress-Free for Children
Dental visits may be intimidating for some children. While we work hard to ensure our team, space, and techniques are gentle and compassionate, there will always be some children who need extra care surrounding their dental office visits.
If your child experiences anxiety about dentist appointments, talk to our knowledgeable team about sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry can make all the difference for children who feel scared or stressed about dental visits, allowing them to get the care they need and deserve.
