Questions parents ask before booking
Quick answers so you can send the form with confidence.
How soon will someone get back to me?
Our team works through requests during office hours and calls or emails you to set up a time. If you would rather not wait, call (804) 741-2226 and we can book the visit on the phone.
Do you accept Medicaid for kids?
Yes. All four of our pediatric offices accept Virginia Medicaid, including Cardinal Care Smiles (formerly Smiles For Children), DentaQuest and Doral. Medicaid families see the same doctors as everyone else. More about Medicaid at RPDO.
What if my child has a dental emergency?
Call (804) 741-2226 instead of using the form, so we can tell you what to do right away. After hours, our doctors are on call to consult on emergent needs, and the doctor decides whether your child needs emergency treatment or a trip to the emergency department. More on emergency care for kids.
When should my child have their first dental visit?
By age one, or when the first tooth comes in. Early visits are short and mostly about getting your child comfortable in the chair. See what a first visit looks like.
My child is nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Yes. Tell us about your child in the form or on the phone, and we will plan the visit around them. We see a lot of anxious kids and children with special needs, and sedation is available when it helps. How we help nervous kids.
Can I book an orthodontic consultation with this form too?
Yes. Choose Orthodontic Consultation under appointment type. Orthodontic consultations are free and cover braces and Invisalign for kids, teens and adults. More about the free consultation.
What insurance do you take?
We work with most dental insurance plans, and all four pediatric offices accept Virginia Medicaid for kids. See insurance information.
