What's Next?
We hope you enjoyed your journey through Dynamic Dental visits. Did the information help you decide what you might need to do next?

1. Are there any changes you'd like to try to make in your family's daily habits?
If so, please let us know: (just select 1 for now… change takes time!)

Call the dentist to make a dental appointment for your child.

Fill out "Getting to Know Me" form for the dentist (see Want to Do More section).

Talk to your dental insurance company about which dental offices accept your insurance.

Do you have a better idea?

We are not interested in selecting a goal at this time.

It is fine to not make any changes right now. Hopefully that means you are already doing everything you can to keep your family's teeth healthy. It could also mean that you have other things that are also important to focus on. Keep up the good work and show off your Super Smiles!
