Your Child’s First Visit

Your child’s initial trip to the dentist should occur, believe it or not, before his or her first birthday. This will enable us to assess your child’s oral health at a very early stage, and enable you to meet, question and get comfortable with Dr. Gibson and the entire Shenandoah Smiles dental team.

Shenandoah Smiles is also great fun for curious, playful young minds — we offer a variety of toys, games and other enjoyable distractions to put kids immediately at ease, including bubble blowing, a play tent and play cabin, as well as an overhead TV at every chair once they’re called back. They’ll also get a lollipop when they leave (sugar-free, of course). If you have any questions about our facilities, our team or our practice philosophy, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’d love to hear from you!

“Took my daughter to this office. Dr. Gibson is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely skilled and has an incredible bedside manner. Her office is beautiful and kid friendly. In fact, it’s probably the nicest doctor’s office I’ve ever been to.”

The entire staff, Dr. Gibson, the office, everything! Dr. Gibson relates to you and the kiddo, explains everything, and isn’t rushed. The hygienists are so sweet and so patient, same with the front desk ladies. The decor is SO AWESOME. And they give treats/goodies as you’re leaving. A five star rating is an understatement! Thank you, ladies!

Just took my 19-month-old daughter to her first dentist appt, and it was fantastic! The whole team was SO patient. Dr. Gibson easily took care of her, despite the squirming, and then blew bubbles with her! The office is adorable and the kids even get individual TVs while their teeth are cleaned… I wish Dr. Gibson was available to adults!

Dr. Gibson is so wonderful! She’s passionate and understanding and completely takes every patient and their needs to a personal level. She’s got the tender touch all kids need when seeing their doctor, of any type. Her office is exceptional. It’s so clean and modern yet so much fun for the little ones!
