At your first appointment we intend for you to meet the doctors, have time to express your concerns and ask questions. Diagnostic records will be taken, which may include x-rays and study models of your teeth. (If your previous dentist has x-rays that are less than two years old, please have them forwarded to our office before your exam.) Following a comprehensive examination, you may be asked to come back for a discussion of treatment options. Cleanings will be scheduled based upon the state of your periodontal health.
The Importance of Regular Visits
Regular dental visits are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. For maximum benefit, a good home care regimen must be supplemented with a professional examination and cleaning at least every six months. Depending on your oral health, the dentist along with the hygienist may recommend more frequent visits.
