Welcome to the Nicolini Pediatrics Family!

We know that visiting a new dental office can feel overwhelming, especially with little ones. That’s why we’ve made the process as smooth, friendly, and comforting as possible. Here’s everything you need to know before your first visit:

What to Expect

At your child’s first appointment, we focus on creating a fun, positive experience.

We’ll:

• Give you and your child a warm welcome
• Take a quick tour of the office (if they want!)
• Review your child’s medical and dental history
• Perform a gentle dental exam and cleaning
• Talk with you about brushing, flossing, nutrition, and habits like thumb-sucking or pacifier use
• Answer all your questions — no rush, no pressure

We aim to build trust and help your child feel safe and confident every step of the way.

What to Bring

To help us serve you best, please bring:

• A valid ID and your insurance card (if applicable)
• Any previous dental or medical records (if available)
• Completed new patient forms (you can also fill these out in the office)
• A list of your child’s medications or medical conditions
• Their favorite toy or comfort item (if it helps them feel relaxed!)

Insurance & Payment Options

We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans and will happily file your claims for you.

We also offer:

• Flexible payment options
• Membership plans for families without insurance
• Transparent pricing — no surprises

Please call us ahead of time if you have questions about your plan, and our team will verify everything before your visit.
