Diagnostic
Comprehensive Exam
Thorough examination of dentitions, soft tissues and jaws. These will diagnose cavities, developing jaw or orthodontic problems, screen for cancer or other diseases.
Orthodontic Screening
Each visit we look at the child’s jaw development and occlusion so we can diagnose developing problems and refer to a specialist at the appropriate time.
X-Rays
The use of x-rays is considered a necessary component of a thorough dental examination. Without x-rays, we are unable to detect small cavities between the teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth, abscesses or other diseases that do not become obvious until they have progressed to a severe level. X-rays are recommended only when necessary to protect your child’s health.
