Your first visit to the doctor typically includes a series of x-rays that allows the doctor to view the structure of the jaw, the position of any teeth that have not yet erupted, and tooth decay.

The initial visit also involves getting your medical history. When you share your medical history with the doctor, be sure to provide complete, up-to-date information on your health. This information will help the doctor to select the most safe and effective method of treatment for you. After the doctor has evaluated your records, we discuss any follow-up treatment with you in detail, including the cost for your particular case.

After the exam and x-rays, you will see the hygienist. At this time, we will determine what type of cleaning is needed.
