For your first appointment with us, you will receive a complete oral exam, which includes a visual inspection, evaluation and diagnosis. This process is designed to give our pediatric dentists a better look at the state of your oral health and help you reach a proper plan of treatment. Your oral exam will involve a close look at your teeth to ascertain their current condition. From there, our pediatric dentists will screen for any hidden and underlying issues through the use of digital X-rays and other imaging devices. This is where conditions like gum disease and oral cancer can be detected early on.
Additionally, we may also provide you with a periodontal probing during your exam to determine whether you are at risk for certain health issues such as gum disease. Based on the results of your examination, our pediatric dentists can craft a plan of treatment for you to address all of your oral health needs. We will gladly walk you through the process of beginning treatment to help you understand all the options involved and better assist you in feeling comfortable with your dental care experience.
If you have any concerns about your smile, we invite you to contact our office today and set up your first exam with us!
