What to Expect on your First Visit to East Credit Dental in Mississauga
One of the most valuable services we provide for our new patients is a complete oral evaluation and development of a specialized treatment plan. During your first visit, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other and your unique dental needs.
Dr. Inigo will start by taking a complete series of radiographs, followed by a thorough examination that would include the following:
- charting your present dental health (e.g. teeth location and condition, previous restorations, your bite and malocclusions such as crooked, crowded or protruding teeth)
- charting your gingival (gums) health through a full periodontal probing
- examining your TMJ (jaw joint) and lymph nodes
- looking for habits such as clenching and grinding
- screening for any dental decay, pathology and oral cancer
After your examination is complete, Dr. Inigo will develop a personalized treatment plan just for you.
Before your initial visit, we recommend obtaining any previous dental records you may have especially any recently taken x-rays.
