Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We will also take x-rays, which includes periapical x-ray for proper diagnosis of the anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth as well as the bite-wing x-ray series for proper diagnosis of proximal decay of posterior teeth. Usually your initial cleaning appointment will be scheduled after this exam so we may determine the right cleaning for you. You can also fill out the forms below and bring them with you to your first appointment.
