Scheduling Appointments

Before we can schedule your first appointment we need a completed New Patient Form so we can create your patient records in our system and then we will contact you with available dates and times.

Our office appreciates your promptness in arriving for your child’s dental visit. We reserve a specific time for your child according to their dental needs and level of cooperation. We request that younger, pre-school and grade school age children (age 8 and under) be scheduled early in the day when they are more rested, alert and receptive to treatment. School age children with extensive dental treatment needs are also only seen in the morning for the same reason.

Please be aware that after school appointment times are in high demand and therefore will always have limited availability. It will be necessary for your child to miss part of their school day for their dental appointment at some point, there is no way around it. Dental appointments are excused absences from school and we will gladly provide a school excuse form for your child.

We value your time and will do our best to remain on schedule throughout the day. We do ask that you please remember that some patients may require more patience and emergencies can throw off our schedule. We ask for your patience and that you please keep in mind that your child may be the next one needing our extra attention.

As a courtesy, our automated system will send appointment notifications and text reminders that allow you to confirm or cancel an appointment and WE ASK THAT YOU CONFIRM YOUR APPOINTMENTS WHEN YOU RECEIVE THE TEXT MESSAGE. Missed appointments or short term cancellations (less than 48 hours notice) will result in a $50 fee because they are costly to us and unfair to other patients who are in need of appointments. Please see our Financial Policy for important information relating to missed appointments and associated fees. Repeated missed appointments of any kind will result in dismissal from our practice.

"Where do I even begin. My daughter who had been seen by her pervious dentist for 3 years, was denied services and treatment while she was experiencing pain/sensitivity to a number of teeth. I found Algoqnuin Kids Dentistry, and I’m so glad I did. From scheduling to completing forms to the practice itself, exceeded my expectations. Let me start first with the gentleman upfront. He is beyond kind and friendly. He almost makes you feel as though he has known you forever. The dental assistant took the time to hear our concerns and fears. She never once made my daughter feel uncomfortable or disregarded her feelings and pain. She did a great job explaining step-by-step how she was going to clean her teeth and even put her favorite show on to easy her mind. Dr. Ursitti, I don’t even have words. She is selfless, kind, gentile and humble. We absolutely adore her! She is the most amazing dentist. She educated us on the best treatment plan for my daughter, and did some of her treatment that day because she didn’t want my daughter to be in pain anymore. She cares so much about her patients and their health she will go to the end to do what’s best. It’s not about how much she can make off the patients but the overall experience and health. She has just gained 5 new patients for sure. I left the office emotional, but of joy, and satisfaction. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you are looking for a confident, amazing, caring dental team for your kids, please look no further. Please call Algoqnuin Kids Dentistry! True PATIENT CARE!!!!"L. U.

"Dr Ursitti and her team were absolutely fabulous! They handled my son’s first visit with care and compassion and they made both of us feel extremely comfortable. I wish they could take me on as a patient as well! Lol As a parent, that had terrible dentist experiences as a child and not so great ones as an adult, I’m so so thankful my son has a knowledgeable and caring dentist with a phenomenal staff to take care of him for a long time."J.

"Beyond five stars! Dr. Ursitti is amazing. My little guy had an appointment today and unfortunately he isn't very cooperative so we had to opt for anesthesia. She did an amazing job on his teeth. She is thorough and communicates everything to you prior to even starting. When he awoke from the anesthesia I witnessed the most heart-warming sight I have ever seen. As I made my way to the room Dr. Ursitti was soothing and holding my child. Anyone knows when a child wakes up from being put under it is very tough on them emotionally. As a parent you want your child to be in the best hands possible and she is it. She treated my son as if he were her own and definitely went above and beyond for him. Thank you so much Doctor for making a stressful situation so much easier for us!"S. R.
