Insurance questions come first for many families
Before choosing a practice, many parents want to know whether their child’s coverage, including MassHealth or a plan from an employer, will be accepted. This site cannot confirm what any practice accepts. Our insurance and MassHealth guide lists the questions to ask the practice and your plan so there are fewer surprises.
When a child is nervous
Some Tewksbury parents are looking for a practice specifically because a child had a hard visit before. If that is your situation, ask practices how they help anxious children, whether parents can stay, and whether a short introductory visit is possible. Our dental anxiety guide offers words to use and avoid at home.
Keeping prevention on track
Regular checkups, fluoride and sealants on permanent molars are some of the most effective tools for preventing cavities in school-age children, according to the ADA and CDC. Scheduling six-month visits around school breaks can help keep them from slipping.
