The First Visit to our Family Dentist
As a dental team, we are dedicated to the concept that all people should have the opportunity to retain their teeth throughout their lifetime. We believe that the best way to achieve this goal is by starting with a complete and comprehensive exam, which includes any necessary diagnostic x-rays, study models, a thorough hygiene assessment, and oral cancer screening.
Please inform our office if you have any of the following medical situations:
- Artificial heart valves
- A history of infective endocarditis
- Congenital heart conditions, repaired or unrepaired
- A cardiac transplant that develops a heart valve problem
- Joint replacement surgery (i.e. hip, knee) in the past two years
- Are taking oral bisphosphonates (i.e. Boniva, Fosamax, Actonel) usually for osteoporosis
- Are taking blood thinning medicines (i.e. Coumadin, aspirin)
