During an initial examination at Appolonia, you can expect to receive:

• A complete examination of your child’s lips, cheeks, tongue, teeth, and gums
• Depending on age, ability to cooperate, and necessity, X-rays may be taken to help us “see” what is happening underneath the teeth.
• Oral hygiene evaluation.
• Our dentist will show you and your child proper home brushing techniques such as flossing and advise you on the appropriate amount of fluoridated toothpaste.
• Full caries risk assessment.
• We also evaluate your child’s growth and development, occlusion (bite), and the spacing of your child’s dentition. The dentist can discuss any oral habits, including thumb/finger sucking and any need for orthodontic referral
• After the visit is complete, the dentist will discuss all findings from the examination and x-rays, and will inform you in details about the treatment plan and cost estimate if additional treatment is needed.
• Our pediatric dentists are experienced in making your child feel comfortable during the child’s first visit and will help ensure you have the necessary tools and information to help keep your child cavity-free.
