COVID-19 update from The Smile Center

To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

At The Smile Center, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.

When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.

It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. John Miller
The Smile Center

Plan Now For Your Child’s First Dental Visit in Murrells Inlet

As a parent or caregiver, you naturally want what’s best for your child. Good dental care is one of the best gifts you can give them. Setting them up for dental success when they’re young will help them keep great smiles for life. That’s why your child’s first dental visit in Murrells Inlet is so important. This appointment at The Smile Center will:

  • Get your little one used to coming to the dentist
  • Help them avoid developing dental anxiety or fear
  • Uncover any oral problems so they can receive early treatment
  • Give you peace of mind about the health of their smile and their mouth

Call us today at 843-491-5353 and we’ll make an appointment for your child to see Dr. Miller. We’re conveniently located at 4539 Hwy. 17 Bypass S.

Set Your Child Up For a Healthy Smile

Dr. Miller and our staff love helping kids get the dental care they need. We’ll treat your little one with the utmost care and respect, just like we would any other patient. Healthy smiles begin with early treatment and preventive care, so we agree with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry – you should bring your child to the dentist after their first tooth appears, or by age 1.

Your child’s initial dental visit will be what we call a “happy visit.” We’ll take a look inside their mouth to check for any obvious problems with their teeth or gums, plus we’ll give you tips on how to brush their teeth and help keep their mouth healthy. As more teeth come through, keeping up a good brushing routine will become increasingly important, as healthy baby teeth help ensure that their adult teeth come through with no problems.

Your Toddler Will Love Our Care, Too

Your toddler will enjoy a brief tour of our office to see some of the tools we use to keep their teeth healthy. We’ll introduce them to our staff and make them feel right at home. As they get older, their visits with us will more closely resemble a routine dental exam and cleaning. We offer your toddler:

  • A prize from our “treasure chest” as a reward for a completed visit
  • Ceiling-mounted TVs and headphones so they can watch cartoons or a favorite show
  • Air abrasion, which allows us to treat small cavities without a drill or anesthesia

Your child’s first dental visit in Murrells Inlet is an important part of their oral health. Call us today at 843-491-5353 to schedule their appointment.
