Your First Visit

For Adults:

If you have a dental problem that needs immediate attention we will see to it right away. Otherwise, we will do a complete dental examination, including X-rays to update your previous ones. We use a high-tech miniature video camera to examine your teeth at high magnification. We will take time to discuss our findings with you, show you what we find, answer any questions you may have, and help you set up a personal dental care program.




For Children:

We like to see kids and their parents quite early. Age 2 is often a good time for a "fun" visit. The kids have a chance to meet us and get used to our office. We give them rides in the chair and demonstrate what we do on a large stuffed animal. They can visit with Tobler the Labrador (our office mascot-see the staff page) if she's in that day too. We also take this time to discuss important preventive issues with their parents, and set up good dental habits. We will do a complete checkup, cleaning and fluoride (if needed) when your child is ready, usually at age 3 or older.
