To keep your mouth healthy and catch any issues as soon as they start, we recommend visiting Caitlin Batchelor Dentistry every six months for routine cleanings and exams.

By taking care of these issues promptly, we can help ensure the continued health of your mouth.

What is the cost of treatment?
At Caitlin Batchelor Dentistry, we strive to be transparent about the costs of treatments and procedures.

Do you offer sedation dentistry?
We offer Nucalm as a way to help patients relax during their dental appointments. While sedation dentistry and Nucalm both aim to help patients feel more at ease during their appointment, Nucalm uses natural methods to achieve relaxation and has no recovery time or side effects. It is a 100% natural and safe option for patients who want to feel calm and relaxed during their dental visit. With Nucalm, you can drive yourself to and from your appointment, return to your normal routine immediately after, and may even feel better when you leave than when you arrived.
Learn more about Nucalm here.
