New patient exams are typically quick and straightforward. After greeting your little one, Dr. North will evaluate your child's teeth, gums, and bite. Depending on your child's age and specific needs, she may recommend taking digital x-rays to uncover any condition not visible during the exam. If indicated, your child will have a dental cleaning and a fluoride treatment to ensure the little pearly whites stay clean and healthy.

During the visit, we will outline any needed restorative or preventive treatments. We will also talk to you about proper oral hygiene practices, oral habits, teething, balanced nutrition, and when to schedule your child's next appointment. During the upcoming visits, we will monitor your child's development and will provide preventive care as necessary to ensure your little one's smile stays bright and healthy.
