We recommend biannual visits for 6 monthly Routine Oral Examinations and Scaling & Polishing.

During your first dental appointment, we will go through your medical and dental history, do an extra-oral and intra-oral examination, take X-rays and do any other checks required. We will then proceed to formulate a treatment plan customized to your needs, discussing the different treatment options available to you as well as the pros & cons. On your consent, we will begin to carry out the approved treatment plan over the subsequent visits.

Periodontal disease has also been associated with poor pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth and low birth weight. So yes. Do come in for your routine dental cleaning and necessary dental procedures. If during your routine oral examination, we find that dental work has to be done, it is best to get all these procedures done by the second trimester. In the third trimester, it can be difficult to lie in the dental chair for long periods.

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, your child should see their dentist before they have their first birthday. It might sound early, but this allows your child to aclimatize to the dental clinic and also allows the dentist to diagnose and prevent potential dental problems.
