New Patients
We always welcome new patients at 12th Street Dental. If you are new to the Rochester area or if you’re just visiting for a period of time, we welcome you. When you visit our dental practice you will experience a positive, comfortable environment. Our experienced and friendly staff will make you feel welcomed. During your comprehensive exam, in addition to your teeth we check your tongue, lips, and cheeks for oral cancer. If you have problems with your jaw or grinding your teeth, we are able to provide information and products that can help. We also check for gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease can cause unsightly, painful, and even irreversible damage to your teeth.
Adults
At your first visit, your doctor will meet with you to review your past medical and dental history, discuss any concerns you have, and assess your personal risk factors for dental disease. Then the doctor will conduct a thorough visual examination of your teeth and gums. X-rays and any other diagnostic procedures will then be performed.
Children
Our goal is to provide children with a fun, relaxing and educational experience when they visit the dentist. At the first visit, your child will have any necessary X-rays taken and a cleaning performed. The visit will include instruction on good oral hygiene, fluoride treatment to help prevent cavities and a thorough orthodontic assessment. The treatment provided at each visit is age-appropriate for each stage of your child's development.
