Report
Your first visit at our office is very important in establishing your orthodontic baseline.
Dr. Carlton will perform a complete oral examination which includes an analysis of your malocclusion and a thorough examination of your teeth, oral musculature and possible skeletal deformity.
We will also perform a thorough radiographic analysis of panoramic and cephalometric x-rays as well as a photographic analysis.
Any etiological factors such as poor oral habits will also be evaluated.
Historically, most patients did not commence orthodontic treatment until all of their permanent teeth had erupted and then had a malocclusion diagnosed and addressed at the age of about 12-14.

Dental Emergencies
Report
Dental emergencies occur when you least expect them.
When a dental emergency occurs, the most important aspect of handling the emergency is to have your child brought to our office as soon as possible.
Should your child complain of a toothache, have them rinse their mouth copiously with warm salt water to flush out any debris that may have accumulated.
If your child requires medication to relieve the pain, have them take either Children's Tylenol or Children's Advil.
Do not apply any medications to the affected tooth or gum.

Fluoridated Water & Fluoride Treatments
Report
Since the onset of water fluoridation more than 50 years ago, the American Dental Association has continued to regard water fluoridation as the number one tool available to prevent dental caries.
Scientific research has continually found it to be both a safe and effective method of strengthening teeth.
For those communities that do not have fluoridated water, many pediatricians and dental health professionals recommend that children receive a fluoride supplement.
We strongly recommend that every child who receives a cleaning in our office also receives a fluoride treatment.
