We are excited to meet your family!
Our office, as well as, The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Dental Association (ADA), and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) all recommend establishing a "Dental Home" for your child by one year of age. Children who have a dental home are more likely to receive appropriate preventive and routine oral health care.
The team at Blue Sky Pediatric Dentistry wants to make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive! If old enough, your child should be informed of the visit and told that Dr. Jenn and her team will explain all procedures and answer any questions. The less to-do concerning the visit, the better.
It is best if you refrain from using words around your child that might cause unnecessary fear, such as "needle", "shot", "pull", "drill" or "hurt". Our office makes a practice of using words that convey the same message, but are pleasant and non-frightening to the child.
We invite you to stay with your child during the initial examination. During future appointments, we suggest you allow your child to accompany our staff through the dental experience. We can usually establish a closer rapport with your child when you are not present. Our purpose is to gain your child's confidence and overcome apprehension. However, if you choose, you are more than welcome to accompany your child to the treatment room. For the safety and privacy of all patients, other children who are not being treated should remain in the reception room with a supervising adult.
We strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one!

Financial/Insurance Info
We are glad you have chosen Blue Sky Pediatric Dentistry for your child's dental needs. If your child is covered by dental insurance, please remember to bring your insurance information with you to your child's appointment. We file dental insurance as a courtesy to our patients. We are happy to do this, however, in order to make it cost effective and efficient; we ask that you pay your estimated portion at the time of treatment. Please keep in mind, however, you are responsible for all fees incurred for your child’s care, regardless of insurance coverage.
So that we can focus on great customer service and patient care, we offer payment plans that are billed automatically with our convenient VISA EZPAY system. A credit card number will be kept on file and the EZPAY will charge your credit card automatically when your insurance payment is received if there is an additional balance. Any overpayment will be credited to your card. Your receipt will be e-mailed the same day, eliminating statements, check writing, and postage.
Please do not hesitate to call our office (303-771-8300) regarding this policy or for any other questions you may have. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in the care of your child.
Appointment Policy
Our office schedules appointments at your convenience and when time is available. Children under 5 years old should be seen in the morning because they tend to be more cooperative in the morning. Morning appointments also allow more time for the doctor to spend with your child. Children with a lot of work to be done should also be seen in the morning for the same reason. We understand that morning appointments cause children to miss school; however the absences are excused and can be kept to a minimum when regular dental care is continued. We also understand that working parents may not be able to get time off work so we do also offer extended hours on certain days of each month. We will do our best to accommodate you and your children’s schedule.
Since appointment times are reserved for each patient we ask that when you cancel an appointment, you let us know as soon as possible. As we value your time, we request the same consideration in return. Please give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice when cancelling or changing appointments.
Cancelling your child’s appointment in advance allows us to schedule another patient who is in need of our care. We understand that unexpected things can occur, but we ask that you notify us ahead of time when possible.
Accompanying your child during work appointments
You may decide whether or not you will accompany your child during treatment for their dental appointment. Although we notice that some children do better without the presence of their parents, we are open to you accompanying your child during their visit. If you choose to be present, we suggest the following guidelines to help make their visit a positive experience:
- Allow us to prepare your child for their visit
- Be supportive of the terminology used by the practice
- Please be a silent observer, you may support your child in other ways
- This allows us to continue clear communication with your child
- Children’s focus seems to be on their parents instead of us and this may prevent them from hearing our guidance
- You may confuse the child by giving them inaccurate information regarding their visit
These are important ways that you can help us achieve a positive outcome for your child’s visit. We are confident that the outcome of your child’s appointment will be positive and hope these guidelines will help prepare you for your child’s visit.
