Patient standing at the front desk.Your initial appointment with us will consist of a comprehensive examination that evaluates all aspects of your oral health. This involves teeth cleaning with a thorough assessment for tooth decay (caries), periodontal disease, examining your occlusion or “bite” and temporomandibular joint (“TMJ”) function, a review of your medical history as well as a screening for oral cancer.

Additionally, your questions and concerns are of utmost importance to us, and we will take time to address those as well during this visit. Any relevant radiographs (X-rays) will also be reviewed, and our findings will then be discussed with you.

Children’s Dentist

Little girlPreventive dental treatment for your child begins with periodic dental visits and teeth cleanings. Children should first be examined between two and three years of age. Additionally, they should have their teeth cleaned and have fluoride treatments twice a year.

If your family lives in a rural area and drinks well water, we recommend a simple test to determine if adequate levels of fluoride are present. When the fluoride content is too low, supplemental fluoride should be given to the child based on their age and the amount of water consumed in the home.

At approximately age six when the child’s first permanent molars erupt, dental sealants should be considered to cover the biting surface of these teeth. As the child gets older and the second permanent molars erupt (around age twelve), sealants should be placed on these teeth as well.

Sealants have been shown to reduce the incidence of dental decay by closing pits and fissures in the teeth, thereby preventing the invasion of bacteria. These preventive measures can help your child establish a healthy foundation as their smile matures into adolescence and adulthood. Contact our office to learn more about the pediatric and family dentistry services we offer and the benefits it can provide your child. We’re proud to provide children and adults throughout Winston-Salem, Clemmons, Pfafftown, Lewisville, Walkertown, Lexington, Wallburg, Kernersville, High Point, and Greensboro, NC with all their dental needs.
