Dental Exams | Routine Dental Care Temple TX | Canyon Creek Dentistry

Your child’s first exam will be a comprehensive exam to evaluate your child’s overall oral health. This exam involves a thorough review of their health history. At this appointment your child will have an age appropriate cleaning. The doctor will also diagnose any oral health issues that may require treatment.

The American Dental Association states the following: Radiation exposure associated with dentistry represents a minor contribution to the total exposure from all sources, including natural and man-made. This means that dental x-rays are safe.

All x-rays in our office are digital which are 70% less radiation than conventional film x-rays. X-rays will be needed at most exams for our dentist to evaluate your child’s oral health. (Bone & tooth structure under the gums)
