In order to provide you with the best possible care, your oral health must first be thoroughly evaluated. On your first appointment (except in cases of emergencies), Dr. Sachs will conduct a thorough oral health and cosmetic dental examination. This procedure includes a series of separate tests and services. Included are evaluations of the facial muscles, all soft tissues of the mouth, the gum tissues, the bone of the jaws, the tightness and position of the teeth, your bite, oral cancer screening, general health, home care techniques, oral habits, probable causes of disease, a thorough assessment of the total condition of the teeth themselves as to shape, color, state of repair, etc., and all necessary digital x-rays.
Your teeth will not be cleaned at this visit. First, Dr. Sachs will need to examine your mouth and diagnose your x-rays to determine the condition of your gums and other tissues. At the conclusion of your examination, if necessary, an appointment will be made for you in which time all findings are explained . Dr. Sachs will offer recommendations for future action, our goal being the prevention of new disease. Please feel free to bring your spouse with you.
Children will receive a complete examination, have their teeth cleaned, fluoride aplied and any necessary x-rays taken. A major emphasis will be placed on proper home care and diet.
