Diagnostic

• Dental Examination
  We will thoroughly explain each procedure to the patient in terms he/she can understand before we do it. One person may accompany the patient into the treatment room to introduce the office and ourselves. To enable us to give the patient our full attention and to have his/hers as well, we may ask you to return to the reception room during treatment. If you would like to be present for your child’s appointment, we ask that you please keep your cell phone put away or completely off. If you would like to take one photo of your child during their visit please speak to their hygienist at the time. For your child’s privacy and the privacy of others we ask for the picture to be of just them. Please do not be upset if your child cries. Children are often afraid of anything new and strange, and crying is the normal reaction to that fear. At this visit, we will emphasize oral hygiene techniques to be practiced by both you and your child. Depending on need, diagnostic x-rays may be taken. Should any additional work be required, additional appointments will be scheduled. We suggest placing your child on a six-month periodic preventive appointment schedule. You may make that appointment then or you will receive a reminder when your child’s 6-month oral exam and cleaning is due.
