When you and your child visit our office for the first time, we will perform an initial oral examination to evaluate their smile. During this exam, we will discuss your child’s needs with you and provide education for good pediatric oral hygiene practices so you can help your child get used to daily dental habits at home. We encourage you to take this opportunity to ask us questions and are more than happy to alleviate any concerns you may have. We always work at your child’s pace and are conscious of any special needs they have while helping them with their smile.
Your — or your child’s — first orthodontic visit at our office is very important in establishing the orthodontic baseline. Our orthodontist will perform a complete oral examination, which includes an analysis of any malocclusion as well as a thorough examination of the teeth, oral musculature and possible skeletal deformities. We will also perform a thorough radiographic analysis with panoramic and cephalometric X-rays, as well as a photographic analysis. Any etiological factors, such as poor oral habits, will also be considered. We want to help you achieve your goals for your smile and look forward to giving you the personalized, high-quality service you deserve.
We invite you to call our friendly team today to learn more about our pediatric and orthodontic services and schedule your initial oral examination. We are eager to give you a reason to smile!
