What should I expect during my first appointment?
As a new patient, you will first see the dentist for a comprehensive exam. During your exam, your dentist will review your dental x-rays and complete an oral cancer screening which includes an examination of your jaw, neck, tongue and inside of your mouth. At your first visit, you may not receive a cleaning. A cleaning may be completed after the doctor ensures it is the appropriate treatment for your specific oral health. There are certain conditions that determine that a cleaning is not the first best course of treatment. For more information about your first vist please read "What To Expect At Your First Visit."
