New Patient Form PDF Download CLICK HERE to Print each JPEG Form separately on it's own. New Patients We will schedule appointments as soon as time permits and at your convenience. Preschool children should be seen in the morning because they tend to be well rested and therefore more cooperative. This allows our staff to work more leisurely with the child for their comfort. School aged children that require extensive work should also be scheduled in the morning time for the same reason. While we understand that missing school is a concern, it can be kept to a minimum when regular dental care is sustained. Appointment times are reserved exclusively for each patient, therefore we ask that you please notify our office at least two business days in advance of your scheduled appointment time if you are unable to keep your appointment. Other patients in need of our care could be scheduled if we have sufficient time to notify them. We do understand and realize that emergencies do occur, but we ask for your assistance in this regard. If you do not call to cancel and fail to show as scheduled, you may be charged a broken appointment fee. Payment Options Payment for professional services is due at the time dental treatment is provided. We accept cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard and Discover, as well as debit cards which bear the Visa or MasterCard logo. Insurance Claims We file dental insurance claims as a courtesy to our patients. We do not have a contract with every insurance company, therefore, we are not responsible for how your insurance company handles its claims or for what benefits they pay on a claim. We will assist you in estimating your portion of the cost of treatment, but we cannot guarantee what your insurance will or will not do with each claim. What insurance plans do you take? We currently accept Arizona and Utah Medicaid, and most PPO's (* We also accept most other insurances, If you have any questions please call for details). If you have any questions or concerns about your particular insurance plan, do not hesitate to contact the office. As a courtesy to our patients we will be happy to file a claim on your behalf but ultimately the responsibility for payment of the claim belongs to the patients. Please keep us informed of any insurance changes such as policy name, insurance company address, or a change of employment status. *IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT INSURANCE COVERAGE: Insurance providers we work with may change at any time and without notice. If you have any questions regarding your insurance provider, please contact our office at (435) 635-7200 - Thank you. Co-Payment You may have noticed that sometimes your dental insurer reimburses you or the dentist at a lower rate than the dentist's actual fee. Frequently, insurance companies state that the reimbursement was reduced because your dentist's fee has exceeded the usual, customary, or reasonable fee ("UCR") used by the company. The data used to establish fees may be dated and are set by the insurance company so they can make a profit, too. Insurance companies set their own schedules, and each company uses a different set of fees. These allowable fees may vary widely because each company collects fee information from claims it processes. The insurance company then uses this data to establish their fee schedule. Additional Financial Information Dental insurance is meant to be an aid in receiving dental care. On average, most dental insurance plans pay between 50%-80% of the average total fee. Some plans pay more, some pay less. The percentage paid may be determined by how much you or your employer has paid for coverage or the type of contract your employer has set up with the insurance company. If we have received all of your insurance information on the day of the appointment, we will be happy to file your claim for you. You should be familiar with your insurance benefits, as we will collect from you the estimated amount insurance is not expected to pay. By law your insurance company is required to pay each claim within 30 days of receipt. We file claims in a manner such that your insurance company will receive claims within days of the treatment. You are responsible for any balance on your account after 30 days, whether insurance has paid or not. If you have not paid your balance within 60 days, a finance charge of 1.5% or $5, whichever is greater, may be added to your account each month until paid. What kind of payment plans do you have? We expect all patient portions and deductibles to be paid when service is provided. We implemented and enforce this policy to keep costs down for each of our patients. Prior to treatment, our staff will provide an estimate of the treatment costs or co-pay. Usually the co-pay is a close estimate but in some cases an additional amount will be due. In the event extensive treatment plans are required, financial arrangements can be discussed. Do you offer any financing options? As a service to our patients, we are pleased to offer Care Credit. With Care Credit you can finance 100% of your dental care and there are no upfront costs, no annual fees, and no prepayment penalties. So, you can begin your treatment today and conveniently pay with low, monthly payments. We also offer Lending Club, call us today for more information! Print each JPEG separately on it's own.

The place may have been a bit small, but my kids enjoyed every minute of being there and I felt my anxiety of taking my little finger biters disappear. The entire staff was so terrific with my three kids that the children felt more like I had taken them somewhere fun, rather than a "dental visit". Not even my two year old acted up! Even more amazing, my child that had undergone a traumatic experience at a previous dental office found herself completely relaxed and willing to cooperate here! Love, Love, LOVE IT here! Kayla B. ★★★★★ 5.0 Stars Google The staff is AMAZING! They are so good with our children, they are patient, kind and remember them each time.

< Back 27. When is sedation recommended for kids? Sedation Recommendations Sedation can be helpful for children in certain situations, including if they: -Are very nervous or fearful about visiting the dentist -Require longer or more involved procedures, like multiple fillings, extractions, or crowns -Have special needs or find it hard to sit still during treatment -Have a sensitive gag reflex or other challenges that make dental work difficult Our priority is to make dental care safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible. We always aim to use the minimal amount of sedation needed to help your child relax while allowing treatment to be completed efficiently. <<>>

< Back 7. Why does my child have cavities even though we brush? What Happens If Your Child Has a Cavity You’re not alone—cavities can happen even when families are brushing regularly and doing everything they can. Some common reasons include: -Hidden sugars in snacks, drinks, juice, and even certain “healthy” foods -Genetics and enamel strength, which can make some children more prone to cavities -Brushing technique—young kids often miss harder-to-reach areas -Frequent snacking or sipping during the day, allowing sugar to stay on teeth longer -Milk or juice at bedtime, especially if brushing doesn’t happen afterward The good news is that cavities don’t mean you’ve done anything wrong. Every child’s mouth is different. At your visits, we can help improve brushing routines, discuss diet choices, and suggest options like fluoride treatments or sealants for added protection. <<>>

< Back 46. Do you accept Medicaid? Medicaid Accepted Yes! We accept Medicaid to help make dental care accessible for all children. Our team is here to make the process simple and can assist you with: -Verifying your child’s coverage before the appointment -Scheduling visits that align with your plan -Submitting claims and handling paperwork on your behalf If you have questions about your benefits or whether a specific procedure is covered, feel free to contact our office — we’re happy to walk you through everything and help you understand your options. Important: Medicaid does not cover all dental procedures. We recommend checking with our team before your visit so you know if there will be any out-of-pocket costs. Our goal is to help your child receive the care they need while keeping everything clear, simple, and stress-free for your family. <<>>

< Back 55. When should kids start flossing? Flossing Your child should start flossing as soon as they have two teeth that touch, which usually happens around ages 2–3. Flossing gets rid of plaque and food particles that a toothbrush can’t reach, helping prevent cavities and gum issues. Getting started: -At first, parents should floss for their child to make sure it’s done gently and thoroughly. -As your child grows and gains coordination (around 7–10 years old), they can start flossing on their own — with supervision to make sure it’s done right. Starting early builds good oral hygiene habits that last a lifetime! <<>>

< Back 41-B. What is a lip tie procedure for infants? Lip Tie for Infants A lip tie occurs when the tissue connecting a baby’s upper lip to the gums (labial frenulum) is tight or restrictive. This can affect feeding, comfort, and sometimes growth. A simple procedure called a frenectomy (or frenotomy) can release this tissue, allowing better lip movement and improving feeding. It’s a quick procedure, often performed with scissors or a laser, and most babies can nurse right away with minimal discomfort and a fast recovery. Common Signs of a Lip Tie In Infants: -Difficulty latching or maintaining a good latch -Clicking noises, fussiness, or frustration during feeding -Long feeding sessions or frequent breaks -Poor weight gain -Milk leaking from the mouth, gagging, or reflux-like symptoms For Breastfeeding Mothers: -Nipple pain, cracking, or bleeding -Engorgement or clogged ducts -Low milk supply or mastitis -Feeding-Related Clues -Shallow latch or poor milk transfer -Noisy feeding due to air intake -Falling asleep quickly while feeding from fatigue -Frequent stops to breathe or reposition -Physical Signs -A visible tight band of tissue under the upper lip -Difficulty lifting or flanging the upper lip outward -Blisters or calluses on the lip from friction -Effects on Growth and Comfort Lip ties can sometimes lead to: -Poor weight gain -Gassiness, colic, or reflux-like symptoms -Feeding aversion For mothers, ongoing discomfort can affect both comfort and milk supply. Treatment Overview -Performed by trained pediatric dentists, physicians, or ENT specialists -The tight tissue is gently released using scissors or laser -Quick procedure with minimal discomfort and no stitches -Simple stretches may be recommended afterward to support healing -Often treated alongside a tongue tie if both are present -Why Early Treatment Matters Addressing a significant lip tie early can: -Improve feeding and comfort -Support healthy oral development -Help prevent future dental or speech concerns If left untreated in more severe cases, it may contribute to ongoing feeding challenges, growth concerns, or dental issues later on. Signs in Older Children If a lip tie isn’t treated and causes issues, you may notice: -A gap between the front teeth -Difficulty cleaning around the gums -Food getting trapped easily -Speech challenges or increased risk of cavities -When to Seek an Evaluation Not all lip ties require treatment. Some mild cases improve with lactation support or positioning changes. However, if symptoms persist, it’s best to seek an evaluation from a pediatric dentist, pediatrician, or lactation specialist experienced with oral ties. At Hurricane Pediatric Dentistry in Hurricane, Utah, we provide gentle evaluations and personalized care. After treatment, most babies recover quickly, and simple exercises can help ensure proper healing. <<>>

< Back 58. What causes bad breath in children? Bad Breath Most bad breath in kids is normal and can be easily managed, but sometimes it may point to a dental or health concern. Common causes: -Poor oral hygiene – Not brushing or flossing regularly allows bacteria and food particles to build up -Food choices – Strong-smelling foods like garlic, onions, or sugary snacks can cause temporary odor -Cavities or gum problems – Tooth decay or gingivitis can lead to persistent bad breath -Sinus or throat issues – Allergies, colds, or tonsil infections may contribute to odor -Dry mouth – Saliva naturally cleans the mouth; dehydration or mouth breathing can worsen smell What helps: -Brushing twice a day and flossing daily -Cleaning the tongue gently -Staying hydrated with water If your child’s bad breath continues despite good oral care, it’s a good idea to schedule a dental check-up to rule out cavities or other underlying issues. <<>>

< Back 51. Do you offer any other payment plans besides CareCredit or Lending Club? CareCredit and Lending Club We offer CareCredit and Lending Club to help make your child’s dental care more affordable.
