Initial New Patient Exam
For patients of all ages, new patient appointments are a great opportunity for us to get to know one another.
We’ll focus the appointment on getting to know you and your oral health, diagnosing any oral health issues you might be experiencing, and recommending any necessary treatments that we think will help improve your health. We’ll also discuss your long-term oral health goals, whether you or your child has been experiencing any problems, or if there are ways you are wishing to improve the look of your smile.
What to expect at all first appointments:
- Ensure you or your child’s comfort prior to proceeding with the appointment
- Gently examine the teeth, jaws, bite, gums, and oral tissues
- Take any necessary x-rays to help diagnose any dental problems
- Diagnose any oral health issues we see and recommend a treatment plan personalized to you
- Put together a preventive plan that is tailored to you or your child’s specific needs
Pediatric First Visit
We have created a relaxed and fun environment for your child’s first visit and work hard to help children develop a positive relationship with their oral health.
Baby & Me visits help ensure your baby’s oral health and nutritional needs. This visit includes a gentle examination of your baby’s erupting teeth, gums, bite, and mouth tissues. We will help with preventive homecare techniques, leaving lots of time for questions. We can even discover and intercept issues before they become unexpected surprises.
As pediatric dentistry specialists, we understand children have different needs and comfort levels. We frequently recommend scheduling a separate cleaning appointment after the initial examination, so we make dental hygiene and dentist visits a regular and essential part of their lives.
