Afterwards, one of our dental employees will call the patient into the back of the office. Usually the first step is to take a set of X-rays of the person&#8217;s teeth to see if there are any problems like impacted or broken teeth. To do the X-rays, the person sits in a chair and bites on a piece of film or a stick while the machine takes pictures of all the teeth. The X-ray machine may spin or just rest on the cheek area where the person is biting down.<\/p>\n<p>After the X-rays are completed, our\u00a0dentist will review them and come into the room to do an exam. They\u00a0will use a mirror to look around in the patient&#8217;s mouth at the gums and teeth. The dentist will use a metal pick to poke around teeth that may need to be inspected better. They will inform the patient of any problems they find and how many appointments they need in order\u00a0to perform the work. Afterwards, our\u00a0dental hygienist will clean the teeth and then the patient can set up future appointments and leave.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":""},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4538,"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/53\/revisions\/4538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mycreativesmiles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
