What Happens During a First-Time Dental Visit?
When you’re new to Horizon Family Dentistry, our Havelock dentists must thoroughly check your mouth health and concerns before suggesting treatments. For adults with us, we might need to do this again every 3-5 years.
Our front desk staff will greet you when you arrive in our fresh, updated waiting room. You can have some tea or coffee while you wait. We want you to feel at ease before your appointment starts. Soon after, a team member will ask about your dental, health, and family history. Then, you’ll see your Havelock dentist for your first exam.
In your exam, your dentist will check for:
Oral cancer screening
Comprehensive assessment of all soft tissues in your mouth
In-depth examination of your teeth
Evaluation of your gums and the bone supporting your teeth
Detailed orthopedic assessment of your jaw joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles
Occlusal (bite) analysis
Essential x-rays to check for decay and establish baseline data on your bone and jaw joint health
Photographs for a detailed visual record
Discussion of your goals for dental treatment
Review of any cosmetic concerns you wish to address
What Happens After Your First Visit
After your exam, you’ll discuss your care plan with your Havelock dentist. At Horizon Family Dentistry, we focus on keeping your teeth healthy in the long term. Your plan will include ways to prevent problems and fix any issues just for you.
We’ll review your options and help you make good choices about your personal care plan. We’re happy you’ve chosen Horizon Family Dentistry for your dental care. If you have any questions at any time, just ask. We’re here to help you and your family with care.
