Common Questions
Why fix baby teeth?
Baby teeth are just as important as permanent teeth. Baby teeth are necessary for chewing, speaking, and appearance to boost a child's self-esteem. Decay in baby teeth can cause damage to the permanent teeth and can also cause problems with spacing.
Does my child need fluoride?
Fluoride is one of the most effective elements for preventing tooth decay. Washington County does not have fluoride in the water which puts your child at higher risk for tooth decay. In addition to being put on a fluoride supplement, your child can visit our office for a fluoride treatment on the same day as their dental exam.
Do you take my insurance?
Dr. Scholzen is in-network with almost every insurance company in the Southern Utah area, including Medicaid and CHIP. If you have further questions about your coverage, feel free to give us a call directly.
How much is a visit?
Most insurance companies will cover your preventative visits 100% twice a year at no out of pocket expense to you. If you have questions regarding your individual policy, please contact your insurance carrier. If you do not have insurance, we do offer cash discounts. Call our office for further detailed pricing.
