First Visit
The purpose of this visit is to establish a positive
relationship with the child and evaluate the child's dental
health as a guide to future treatment. Usually during the first
visit we:
Examine the erupted teeth for cavities, the gums for
infection and other mouth tissues for abnormalities.
Evaluate occlusion-the way teeth come together.
Check for sufficient room, for the permanent teeth.
Determine the effects of childhood habits (e.g.,
thumb-sucking, pacifiers, bottler, 'etc.)
May take selected x-ray views of the mouth to locate decay,
infections in the bone, position and location of unerupted
teeth.
May have time to review preventive measures such as brushing,
flossing, fluoride and diet.
