What to Expect at Your First Visit to Harlow Dental
We understand that visiting the dentist for the first time can feel stressful, especially if it's been a while. However, it doesn't have to be that way when you know what to expect.
Preventive Dental Visits
If you're visiting us for the first time for a preventive dental examination and teeth cleaning, we'll begin with a discussion of your health history and a thorough examination of your teeth.
Our dentists screen for oral cancer, gum disease, and tooth decay, all of which are common concerns that are best treated early, when possible. We'll also evaluate the health of any current restorations, such as crowns or fillings, that we inspect to ensure you're aware of any potential breakdown or wear.
Our hygienist will perform a thorough professional teeth cleaning after your exam, unless you're managing gum disease and require a deeper cleaning at a future visit.
Emergency Dental Visit
A tooth emergency visit will focus solely on the compromised tooth. We'll diagnose the problem and determine the best treatment to provide relief as soon as possible.
