One of our primary goals at Rocktown Family Dental Care is to make every visit to our dental clinic in Harrisonburg, VA, pleasant, comfortable, and stress-free, and your first visit is no exception!
Whether you've found us due to a dental emergency or it's time for your next preventive teeth cleaning and checkup, we're so glad you've chosen us as your new dental home, and we can't wait to get to know you.
Speaking of getting to know you, that's a lot of what happens during your first dental visit. We'll review your health history, discuss your worries, and start with a thorough exam and x-rays.
Handling Dental Emergencies
If you're visiting us for relief from a tooth emergency, Dr. Anderson will diagnose your problem and discuss possible treatment procedures that will provide relief, restore your smile, and get you back on the path to wellness as soon as possible. We leave time in our schedule to accommodate dental emergencies, and Dr. Anderson provides same-day treatment whenever possible.
Preventive Dental Visits
If your first visit is for your bi-annual teeth cleaning and checkup, it starts the same way, with x-rays and an exam with Dr. Anderson. She'll evaluate your smile, screen for common problems like tooth decay or gum disease, problematic breakdown, or wear of your current restorations, and let you know if there are any pressing treatment needs. She'll also screen you for oral cancer to determine a baseline for your oral health that will help us protect you from this deadly disease.
Once we figure out the correct type of teeth cleaning for your needs, we'll go ahead and perform the cleaning or schedule you back for the right time. Patients with problem-free smiles will likely complete their teeth cleaning at their first appointment. Those managing gum disease or other pressing issues may return to receive their teeth cleaning at a different time.
Welcoming Children to Rocktown Family Dental Care
We love caring for children at our dental office, and children's first appointments are much like their parents. We'll start with a thorough exam, and if your child is old enough and feels comfortable, we'll include x-rays and a teeth cleaning. Older children will also receive a fluoride varnish to protect and strengthen their developing teeth.
We invite you to book your little one's first dental visit to learn more about why Dr. Anderson is the children's dentist in Harrison, VA, that parents trust!
