What to Expect at Your First Dental Visit

At Aiea Pearl City Dental Care, our team is committed to providing you and your family with safe, gentle, and high-quality dental care. We know that visiting the dentist, especially for the first time, can feel intimidating for both kids and adults. That’s why our experienced family dentists in Aiea are dedicated to creating a calm and positive environment. Our goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident about your dental care while delivering the best treatment possible.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your first dental visit is all about you: your comfort, your health, and your smile. During your initial new patient dental exam, we will:

  • Review your dental and medical history forms

  • Take digital dental X-rays of your teeth and mouth

  • Have the doctor meet with you to review your X-rays, answer your questions, and create a personalized treatment plan

At your next visit, one of our gentle dental hygienists will provide a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing, while also checking your teeth and gums for any cavities, early signs of Tooth decay, or Gingivitis.

What to Bring to Your First Dental Appointment

  • Your completed new patient information forms

  • Your dental insurance card or coverage details

Regular Dental Checkups Keep Your Smile Healthy

The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist every six months for routine dental checkups and teeth cleanings to maintain a healthy smile. Regular exams allow us to prevent problems early and keep your teeth and gums strong for life.

We know your schedule is busy, so please plan for your first dentist appointment to last about 45 to 90 minutes.
