Skyline Pediatric Dentistry
Your Child’s First Visit to the Dentist
At Skyline Pediatric Dentistry, our approach to your child will be one of the same respect, tenderness, and care that we would expect someone to show our own children. The purpose of the first visit is to establish a positive relationship with the child and to evaluate the child’s dental health as a guide to future treatment needs. Our goal is to have your child remember each dental visit as a pleasant, positive learning experience, helping your child develop a lifelong healthy relationship with dental care.
You, as parents, play an important role in developing a good attitude toward dental care. Keeping the conversation light and casual about going to a kid-friendly dental office helps prevent unnecessary fear. Avoid using dental treatment as a form of warning or punishment when preparing your child for their appointment.
A big part of what we do at Skyline Pediatric Dentistry is known as “tell-show-do.” We will explain dentistry to your child in age-appropriate terms that he or she can understand, then show them what we will do before starting. Our pediatric dental team uses age-appropriate explanations and shows each tool and step beforehand to ease nerves and encourage cooperation. This approach helps ensure a positive experience and encourages a healthy smile.
About the First Appointment
Your child’s first appointment will consist of a cleaning, full oral examination, and fluoride treatment. Most children need x-rays for a complete and accurate diagnosis. These images help us diagnose cavities, jaw abnormalities, cysts, tumors, and missing teeth that we might otherwise not be able to see with the naked eye. Our pediatric dentist will assess any signs of tooth decay and make early intervention recommendations if needed.
After the examination, your child’s oral health and proposed treatment plan will be discussed with you. Please be sure to ask any questions that you may have – whether it’s about the next steps, treatment options, or ways to further support your child’s dental health. We are here to provide clarity and make sure you feel confident in the dental care your child is receiving.

Financing and Insurance
At Skyline Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child deserves quality dental care. We understand that managing dental insurance can be overwhelming, and we want to make this as easy as possible for you. As a trusted pediatric dentist in Omaha, we offer flexible payment options and accept most major dental insurance plans.
It is our policy to receive payment when treatment is rendered. If you have any questions concerning our fees or methods of payment, please let us know.
There is a variety of dental insurance coverage. Nearly every dental plan limits the amount of money the insurance company will pay for covered services. Coverage is rarely 100 percent. If you have questions about your coverage, please refer these questions to your insurance carrier or to your employer.
As a courtesy to our patients, we will complete a claim form at our expense. However, since you receive our professional services, you are responsible to us for payment. We request that payment for services be made by you.
Thank you for your confidence and for entrusting your child’s care to us. We appreciate the opportunity to be part of their journey toward a lifetime of healthy smiles!
