What Will happen at the First Visit?

The dentist will examine your child's mouth.  The examination will include the teeth, gums, tongue, lips and roof of the mouth.  Depending upon the child's age, number of teeth present and ability to cooperate, the dentist may order a few cavity-detecting X-rays, if decay is suspected.  X-rays are also helpful in determining that the permanent teeth are developing normally.  Your child may also have his or her teeth cleaned.
