The first-time checkup is the initial dental consultation, in which the state of the mouth and teeth is assessed before proposing any treatment.
What does it include? It usually involves an examination of the teeth and gums and, depending on the case, X-rays to complete the diagnosis.
What is it for? It allows cavities, gum problems, or other needs to be detected, and a tailored care plan to be drawn up.
Who performs it? It is carried out by an Odontologist; for children, a Pediatric Odontologist. Attending this first evaluation is the starting point for caring for your oral health with a professional.

Before you book
- Every licensed doctor in Mexico holds a cédula profesional, a national licence number. It appears on our doctor profiles where we have it, and you can verify it yourself against the federal registry.
- Ask exactly what a quoted price covers. Consultation, imaging, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up visits are often quoted separately.
- Ask who handles follow-up once you are home, and what happens if something needs correcting. For treatment that spans several visits, agree the schedule before you travel.
El Doctor is a directory. We do not provide medical care, take bookings, or receive payment from the providers listed.
