During your child’s first pediatric appointment at our office, our pediatric dentist and team will perform a complete oral examination, including a visual inspection, periodontal evaluation and diagnosis. As part of the visual inspection, we will closely examine your child’s teeth, their supporting structures and the oral anatomy. We may also use digital X-rays to diagnose tooth decay and any abnormalities that could affect the development of your child’s teeth, jaw and oral passageway. This exam is important so that any issues can be detected and treated at an early age.

After your child’s examination is complete, our pediatric dentist will review our findings with you so you can better understand the current state of your child’s oral health and development. We will then recommend the treatments needed to correct any conditions or problems we have detected. Our team will explain the treatment options so that you can make an educated decision about your child’s care. We are happy to discuss any concerns you may have, because we want you to feel confident and comfortable with your child’s oral health care!
