WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT AT DENTAL REMEDIES

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT AT DENTAL REMEDIES | Dental Remedies
September 13, 2021

Expectations are important. We all have them, and it’s important that they are managed appropriately…even when it comes to dental appointments. If you happen to be a person who experiences a bit of (or a lot of!) apprehension when it comes to seeing the dentist, being proactive and informed can help diminish those fears. Here’s what to expect from your first appointment at Dental Remedies:

  1. Paperwork

Paperwork is, unfortunately, a necessary part of life…and dental visits. Unless you are one of the few that actually enjoys paperwork, be prepared for a bit of tedious work filling out new patient forms. These forms are actually extremely important for the dentist to have your background prior to treatment, so at least you know that your work is not in vain!

  1. Insurance

Unless this was taken care of over the phone or electronically prior to your appointment, you’ll need to set up your insurance with Dental Remedies. Having this on file will make future visits smooth and easy, so putting in the effort now will actually pay off nicely for you in the long run.

  1. X-Rays

Even if you’ve had x-rays taken at a different dentist’s office in the past, Dental Remedies will take new x-rays to act as a baseline for your exam and treatment. X-rays will give the dentist a deeper look at what’s going on beneath the gum line, to ensure there aren’t any unseen problems that need to be addressed.

  1. Dental Exam

The dentist will do a thorough examination of your teeth and gums and will discuss your x-rays with you. This is an important part of the visit, as your dentist is trained not only to find problems with your teeth and gums but to take note of any symptoms of an underlying illness that could affect your overall health in the rest of your body. The dental exam is the starting point for your recommended treatment plan, including any immediate work needed and preventive work for the future.

  1. Dental Cleaning

Now comes the good stuff – getting those pearly whites as white as they can be and squeaky-clean. Dental Remedies has a team of dental hygienists that will gently clean and polish your teeth to keep them in tip-top shape. While this step might feel good and make your teeth look amazing, it’s actually a very important component of oral hygiene. Your hygienist will remove plaque and buildup from the teeth, which can prevent problems with gum disease and decay in the future.

  1. Communication, Patient Satisfaction, and Professionalism

Whether you’re new in town or just new to the practice, Dental Remedies prides itself on ensuring patients are properly cared for and enjoy a high level of care and professionalism during their visit. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff will set you at ease and help make your first visit a success.

If you feel a bit of apprehension about seeing a dentist, you aren’t alone. Knowing what to expect and having an open line of communication with the dentist and their staff will help your first appointment to go smoothly and will keep you coming back for more! Don’t hesitate to call Dental Remedies today if you have any questions about your first appointment – your oral and overall health will be the better for it.
