NEW CLIENT

At Fit Smile, my goal is to get to know you better. During my first visit with you, I will review your Medical and Dental History. This will give you an opportunity to address any concerns and treatment goals you may have.  Medical history review prevents any medical emergency during your treatment.  A consultation with your family doctor may be necessary before we can proceed with any dental hygiene treatment.

An initial assessment consists of intra-oral and extra-oral examination.  Documentation of the condition of your existing teeth and gums, surrounding tissues and any treatment that you may require is recorded.  

The assessment also consists of:

   * Oral Cancer Screening

   * Periodontal Exam (determine if you have gum disease)

   * TMJ Assessment (pain due to injury, clenching, grinding)

   * Generalized Myofunction Assessment ( lips, cheeks, tongue, throat muscle impairment)

   *Breathing Disorder Screening (snoring, mouth breathing, sleep apnea)

A dental cleaning and/or teeth whitening can also be added in the initial visit.
