What to Expect at Your First Dental Visit
Your first dental visit gives us a chance to get to know you, not just your teeth. In most cases, you first meet with one of our hygienists, who takes the time to understand your dental history, concerns, and goals.
Your visit may include:
- A comprehensive dental exam
- Professional dental cleaning
- Digital imaging and x-rays
- An oral cancer screening for adult patients
- A discussion about your oral health and treatment options
Your first visit does not always include a cleaning. It depends on your individual needs and your oral health condition. We take the time to determine the right starting point rather than automatically using a cookie-cutter approach.
Happy Visits Help Kids Feel at Home
For a toddler, the dental office can feel like a brand-new world, which is why we offer happy visits for young children. A happy visit gives your child a chance to meet our team, explore the office, and become familiar with the dental experience without the pressure of needing extensive treatment.
Sometimes the first step toward a positive dental experience is simply getting comfortable in the chair and saying hello. We welcome children of all ages and work with families to help establish healthy dental habits early.
