Your Child’s
First Dental Visit

We know visiting a new dentist can feel like a big step for both children and parents. At Wentzville Pediatric Dentistry, our goal is to make every visit gentle, supportive, and focused on your child’s comfort while providing high-quality pediatric dental care.

Gentle Care Designed Around Your Child

Our practice is committed to providing safe, gentle, and thorough pediatric dental care. We understand some children may feel nervous about visiting the dentist, and our team takes extra care to make each visit feel welcoming and reassuring.
Your child’s first visit focuses on comfort, building trust, and helping them feel successful during their appointment.

Step-by-Step: What Happens at the First Appointment

1. Warm Welcome and Check-In

When you arrive, our team will help your family get settled and review your child’s completed patient information and medical history forms.

2. X-Rays and Oral Health Review

If appropriate for your child’s age and needs, we will take gentle X-rays to help us evaluate their teeth, jaw development, and oral health.

3. Exam With the Pediatric Dentist

The doctor will meet with you and your child, review any X-rays, check their teeth and gums, and discuss findings in a clear, parent-friendly way.

4. Personalized Care Plan and Questions

We will talk through any recommendations, answer your questions, and help you understand next steps to keep your child’s smile healthy.

Complete Your Child’s Patient Forms Before Your Appointment

To help your child’s visit go smoothly, we ask families to complete the patient information form before arriving at the office. Submitting forms ahead of time helps us prepare for your child’s needs, reduce check-in time, and make your appointment faster and more comfortable. If you are unable to complete the forms before your child’s appointment, this can be done in the office as well.
New patients: Please complete the online form below before your visit. When you arrive, you may also be asked to complete a brief one-time form at the office if needed.

Financial Information for Pediatric Dental Care in Greater St. Louis

We believe every child should have access to high-quality pediatric dental care. Because each child’s needs and treatment plan are unique, the cost of care can vary. Before any treatment begins, our team will clearly review all costs, insurance details, and payment options so you can make the best decision for your child and your family.
Our goal is to keep the financial process simple, transparent, and stress-free.

Payment Options Made Simple

We accept a variety of convenient payment methods to make your child’s dental care easy to manage. Our office accepts:
  • Most major credit cards
  • Delta Dental insurance plans
  • Medicaid/State Insurance plans (United Healthcare, Healthy Blue etc.)
  • CareCredit financing for qualified applicants

If your insurance is not in-network with us, we can assist in providing you with an estimate of what is covered by your plan and what your expected cost will be.

We also offer a cash discount for those who don’t utilize insurance.

If you ever have questions about payments, our team is always happy to walk you through your options.

Your child’s healthy smile is an important investment, and we want to make treatment accessible whenever it is needed. We proudly accept CareCredit, a healthcare financing option that allows families to spread payments over time. Our staff can assist you with the application process and help determine whether CareCredit is a good option for your situation.

Everything went great with our three year old and her first dentist visit in the “bigger chairs.” The hygienist Sarah made our daughter feel safe and comfortable. She showed her how all the tools worked and explained what she was going to do. She even put on a movie for her to watch to help her relax with the new situation. Dr. Rob was also very informative and kind. We enjoy this dentist for our child. They are great!

Everything about our visit was outstanding as usual. Dr. Hintze recently opened his schedule on a day in January that was previously not available and was happy to add my grandsons so that they could get work done sooner. Rebecca at the front desk is always so pleasant and helpful. We highly recommend Pediatric Dentistry of Sunset Hills!

Both of my kids love going to the dentist because of Dr. Rob and his staff. I think I’ve been going for almost 2 years and it’s been a consistent great experience for me and my kids! We won’t go anywhere else.
