Your examination will include:

Blood Pressure Screening
An Oral Cancer Screening
Digital Photographs of Your Face, Profile, and Teeth
X-Rays
Evaluation of Your Existing Restorations
Functional Diagnosis of the TMJ (your jaw joint)
Gum-Depth Measurements
Customized Treatment Planning
Patient Education on Findings

We need patients to bring referral slips, a list of medications, and their dental insurance cards. All patients under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present. Please alert the dental office staff if you have an existing medical condition, including artificial valves or joints, rheumatic fever, or are pregnant. If your dentist or physician has taken recent X-rays, please have them forwarded to our Hackettstown dental office, or you may pick up the films and bring them with you. Should we need more information, additional films can be taken at our facility.

During your second appointment, Dr. Kakkar will review his findings and explain his treatment recommendations. You’ll have time to ask questions, so you can understand any issues we have discovered and our proposed treatment.
