Your First Dental Appointment in Dawlish | Terrace Dental Care

What to Expect

Your first visit is an opportunity to get to know us—and for us to get to know you. During this appointment, we will carry out a full dental examination, explain any treatment that may be needed, and discuss all the available options. We’ll also make you aware of any costs before treatment begins, so there are no surprises. Most importantly, this is your chance to ask us any questions about your oral health and the care we provide.

Your Dental Examination

During your first examination, your dentist will carry out a thorough assessment, which includes:

  • Jaw function checking how your jaw moves and ensuring it is functioning properly.
  • Glands feeling the glands under your jaw for any signs of infection or more serious conditions such as oral cancer.
  • Mouth and tongue examining the lining of your mouth and tongue for a variety of conditions, including early signs of oral cancer.
  • Gums checking for gum disease, as well as recognising potential signs of other health issues that can present in the gums.
  • Teeth looking for decay, cracks, excessive wear, failing fillings, crowns, or bridges.
  • Medical history reviewing your medical background to identify any conditions that may affect your oral health or the techniques we use during treatment.
