What To Expect At Your First Dental Visit

At your first dental visit, your dentist will first review your medical history and inspect your mouth to evaluate your overall oral health and determine if there is a need for dental X-rays. The dentist or the hygienist may also examine your mouth to determine if there is evidence of gum disease or related problems that may point to more serious issues like tooth decay, root decay, or bone disease.

We will also examine your jaw to ensure there is no issue with alignment of your bite and jaw, and check your teeth for stains or deposits that may be indicative of bad habits, or more serious problems.

We never force unnecessary treatment plans on our patients, and will always fully explain our findings and answer any questions you may have prior to beginning any treatment.

    You can expect a full exam of teeth, jaws, bite, gums, oral tissues to check the growth and development. A gentle cleaning might take place if needed, followed by polishing teeth and removing plaque, tartar and stains. The dentist may conduct a minor tutorial on how to properly use floss and fluoride.
