Getting Started at Carousel Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics

Please call our office to schedule a complimentary orthodontic exam for your child or teen. During this complementary appointment, we will take a specific orthodontic x-ray, clinical photos, and complete an examination. Dr. Katie will then review her findings with you and your child, discuss if they would benefit from orthodontic treatment, and recommend when it’s time to start! She will also review her recommendations and goals for your child’s treatment, as well as what to expect during the course of treatment.

Our Apple Valley Dentist Office Is Here For You

Our treatment care coordinators are ready to assist you in scheduling your child's complimentary orthodontic exam. We are in network with many major insurance carriers and are happy to assist you in determining your orthodontic insurance benefit.
