The Initial Appointment
Our normal office procedure is to give your child a
thorough oral examination on the first visit. This examination
will include a careful visual evaluation of the teeth
and oral tissues and those X-rays deemed necessary for
a complete diagnosis and evaluation of the developing
teeth and jaws. A dental prophylaxis cleaning may be
performed, if warranted. We introduce children to dentistry
with terms they can relate to according to their age:
terms like “count” for examination and “taking
pictures” for X-rays, etc. For the child patient,
this “easy approach” serves as a good orientation
and is a desirable introduction to dentistry.
Consultation
Our consultation with you will follow your child’s
examination. If you have any special concerns, please
alert us of them before the exam. The following information
will be discussed with you after our exam.
- Any dental problems your child may have, their causes
and further prevention.
- Treatment recommendations, if any are required.
- Answers to any questions you may have regarding your child’s dental health.
If your child is suffering from a toothache, treatment can sometimes be started at the initial appointment. Please inform our staff of any problems.
