New Patient Offer: Exam, Cleaning and Fluoride for $100

Children ages under 3 can see us for a first dental visit for $100 total. The fee covers the new patient exam, a gentle cleaning, and a fluoride treatment. All three happen at one appointment. Dr. Sarah T. Silverstein is board-certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Your child sees a pediatric dentist from the very first visit.

What does the $100 include?

Three services, all at the same appointment:
  • A new patient exam with Dr. Silverstein, covering tooth development, bite, and early signs of decay
  • A cleaning gentle enough for a toddler, with your child on your lap if that helps
  • A fluoride varnish treatment, painted on in under a minute, to strengthen new enamel
We also show you how to brush a squirmy toddler’s teeth at home. Bring your questions about bottles, pacifiers, thumb sucking, and first foods. Parents usually have plenty.

Why bring a child in this early?

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age 1. The other marker is six months after the first tooth appears. Decay in baby teeth spreads fast. Catching it early often means a small filling instead of a long appointment later. Early visits also help your child feel at home in the chair before anything hurts.

How does insurance work with this offer?

If applicable, we will bill your insurance for covered services. Bring your card to the appointment. Our front desk handles the claim for you. If your child has no dental coverage, the $100 is the full fee for the three services listed above. You can also review the insurance plans we work with before you call.

Preventive Dentistry

This includes proper brushing, flossing and eating habits, ideal fluoride levels and the use of pit and fissure sealants. We strive to provide a fun, educational environment where children learn about the importance of good dental hygiene.

Restorative Dentistry

This includes children’s fillings and crowns including treatment of devastating early childhood caries. We are committed to discussing all options before these procedures and answering all questions you may have. Always working for the goal of a healthy smile is our first priority.

Sedation Dentistry

Sedation dentistry refers to the use of sedation during dental treatment. Sedation is most commonly used during extensive procedures, for patients with dental phobia or for patients who find it difficult to sit still. Our Dental office in La Mesa provides a variety of options that can be discussed at your visit.

Emergency Treatment

We understand that the need for urgent dental care is sometimes necessary.

We strive to handle dental emergencies promptly and with compassion. We are always on call and you can reach our practice any day, at any time.

We can’t wait to see your child’s smile!
