Initial Examination
Your dentist will start your appointment by going over your medical and dental history. Then, they will complete a thorough dental examination of your gums, teeth, bite and jaw. Your dentist may also recommend X-rays and an oral cancer screening if they feel they are necessary.
Treatment Plan
A long-term dental treatment plan will be created for you by your dentist based on their examination. They will also be sure to take the time to answer any questions you may have about your oral health and any planned procedures.
