About Our Office

The office here at White Knoll Dentistry is unlike that of many other Lexington dentists. We know that dental visits are intimidating for some guests, which is why we use modern d�cor, wood flooring and televisions in our waiting room as a welcome change to a traditional office ambiance.

For the convenience of our youngest guests, we also provide a special children�s waiting area complete with a television, seating, colorful d�cor and activity toys. Furthermore, our treatment rooms are designed to help patients relax and easily pass time while watching television.

Appointments

Adult's First Visit

At your first visit, you will have a consult with Dr. Backman and she will discuss any concerns or questions that you may have. You will have a comprehensive exam, x-rays, and periodontal exam (exam of your gums). Depending on your needs, you may or may not have your teeth cleaned on this first visit. Dr. Backman will discuss this with you at your visit.

Child's First Visit

The American Pediatric Dentist Association (ADPA) recommends that children have their first dental visit by their first birthday. It is important that children have a positive first experience. Dr. Backman and her staff are trained to work with children and guide them through a fun first visit.

At the first visit we will:

• Perform a complete exam - "count their teeth"
• Take x-rays - "take pictures of their teeth"
• Brush their teeth - "using a special tickling toothbrush"
• Fluoride treatment - "paint vitamins on their teeth"
