First Visit

Your first visit is usually the typical dental checkup visit. Our dental hygienist will clean your teeth, do an evaluation and sometimes take X-rays. Then Dr. Connolly will check the X-rays and your teeth for signs of decay, check your gums, and check for signs of oral cancer or other diseases.

A comprehensive examination likely will be done the first time you visit. Even if you have had regular care under another dentist, Dr. Connolly will want to become familiar with your health. This will allow him to notice changes or problems more easily during future visits. It includes a thorough look at your entire mouth, head and neck area. He also will ask about your medical history.

An important part of every visit is updating your medical history. We will want to know if you’ve had any changes in your health or your medicines since your last visit. Mention everything about your health, even if you don’t think it relates to your mouth. Many diseases can affect your mouth and teeth. Bring a list of all medicines you take, with dosages. Some medicines cause dry mouth, which can increase the risk of cavities.
