When thinking about the amount of money you’ll leave from the tooth fairy, keep in mind that it really isn’t about the dollar amount, but about the event itself. It is one of many significant milestones in a child’s life, so you might as well make it fun. The tooth fairy is simply about taking time to celebrate when your child loses one of their baby teeth. One of the reasons why it is still a common practice is because parents often have fond memories of the tooth fairy when they were children and they want their kids to feel the same excitement. If 2 or more appointments are broken in a 12 month period without 2 business days notice, all future appointments will be cancelled and patients will be placed on a “priority list” for their next visit.Visits from the tooth fairy have been an exciting time in children’s lives for decades. Without this notice, we are unable to offer treatment to other patients that may have needed our care. We understand that sometimes it is necessary to change your appointment so we ask that you kindly give us a minimum of 2 business days notice. Your reserved time in our office is important. We can email a receipt to you upon request. If your child is over 18 and you will not be accompanying him/her to the appointment, please send payment along with your child or call with a card number to run while they are here. We are unable to bill separate parties therefore parents can work out these details.

The parent accompanying a minor child is responsible for payment. If you cannot be there, please make prior arrangements with our staff. Please plan to be present at appointments with your child under 18. Any unpaid balance over 90 days will be considered delinquent and turned over to a collection agency.

We participate or are considered “in-network” with Delta Dental only. Dental benefits should not be confused with the dental services you need, which are determined by you and Dr. To avoid surprises on your bill, it is important to understand what your insurance will cover, and what you will need to cover in some other way. Please keep in mind that insurance is not designed to provide 100% benefit, but rather is meant to assistin the cost of dental care. Benefits and coverage vary significantly from plan to plan depending upon what your employer has agreed to with the insurer.
