The comprehensive examination is a process in which the doctors gather information about your child’s dentition (teeth/bite), growth, and development to provide a thorough diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan. This examination may include radiographs (dental x-rays).
The doctors will evaluate and monitor your child’s dental growth and development at each preventive maintenance appointment. This is critical for proper function as well as aesthetics (appearance).
During this examination, the doctors look for areas of decay on both the chewing surfaces and between the teeth. X-rays of the teeth, as well as a visual check, will allow the doctors to pinpoint these areas and determine the best treatment for your child.
The doctors will examine your child’s gum tissue to insure that gum disease is detected in its early stages. Our hygiene department provides preventive care for your child and home care instructions for parents and patients. Our goal is for your child to maintain proper brushing and flossing habits and have a healthy mouth for a lifetime.
