New Patients

What Is A New Patient Exam?

As a new patient to Horizon Family Dentistry, it is most important for our Havelock dentists to evaluate your concerns and oral health thoroughly before recommending dental treatment. As an existing adult patient, there may be a need to reassess the conditions prevailing in your mouth every 3-5 years.

When you walk in the door, you’ll be greeted by our receptionist in our recently renovated waiting area and offered some tea or coffee. We want to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible before your dental appointment starts.

Soon, you’ll be greeted by one of our staff members who will perform a thorough, one-on-one, interview of your dental, medical and family history. Next, you’ll see your Havelock dentist who does the new patient exam.

Your Havelock dentist will be looking for the following things:

Signs of periodontal (gum) disease

Any cracks or damage to the teeth

Symptoms of oral cancer

Signs of tooth decay

Staining of teeth

Oral cancer screening

A thorough examination of all soft tissues in your mouth

A detailed examination of your teeth

A periodontal examination (gums and bone supporting teeth)

A detailed orthopedic examination of your jaw joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles

Occlusal (bite) examination

Only necessary x-rays are taken to determine the presence of decay and obtain baseline data on the condition of bone and jaw joints
