CONSULTATION

Your comfort and satisfaction are important from the get-go—and that starts here, with an explanation of what you can expect at your first dental visit to our dental.

We’re always happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your first dentist visit—just call or email us.

In the waiting room, you will be greeted by your Patient Service Representative who will get you started on your new patient paperwork.

Please come in 15 minutes before your appointment so you have time to complete your paperwork.  Or you can complete our online patient form.( linked to form on patient consultation)

We will perform a complete oral examination which will include your Jaw – joint, Glands, Facial Muscles and entire mouth – Teeth, gums and the associated oral structures. After this we discuss any treatment you may need. The examination can identify conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease, TMD and even oral cancer.

A tooth cleaning most likely will be performed during your first visit, or might be scheduled for a follow-up visit depending on the condition of your teeth and gums. Your first appointment will take between 30 to 50 Mins. Patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

To make your visit as pleasant and brief as possible, there are a few things you should bring with you. If you’ve had digital x-rays in the last six months, please bring them to your first appointment or kindly have them forwarded to our office. New digital x-rays will be taken, if you don’t already have them.

With just a few simple forms, we’ll ask for relevant medical history, any medications you might be taking, your dental history, and any dental insurance coverage you may have. Want to get a head start?

Your dentist will discuss the comprehensive dental treatment plan that developed specifically for you. While your dentist will provide the expert guidance you deserve, your questions are always welcome and you always have the final say in your treatment.

Your treatment plan is designed to prevent small issues from getting bigger and more expensive, so it will address the problems that are bothering you now and may also identify others that could impact your long-term oral health.

Dental X-ray is valuable diagnostic tool that can help to confirm the final diagnosis of oral health condition. Root portion of tooth, which is not otherwise visible to the naked eye, can be seen in an X-ray. Radiographs also help to determine the extent of decay, presence of cysts, bone loss etc. Congenitally missing or impacted teeth are often identified this way.

Dental Checkup should be done every 6 months or biannually to detect any dental issues at an earlier stage and to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

After your dental checkup visit and before the next, there are a few things you must do to maintain your dental health. These include:

• Brushing your teeth twice daily and using a fluoride-containing toothpaste
• Floss regularly. A water flosser comes in handy!
• If recommended by your dentist, you can use a mouthwash to reduce the bacterial levels in your mouth
• Avoid using your teeth to open bottle caps or tear wrappers

It is now clear that dental checkup is important and vital for our oral health as well as overall health, when was your last dental checkup appointment? Maybe it is time to visit us for your routine bi-yearly dental checkup, today!
