Your First Visit

As a new patient, gathering comprehensive diagnostic information is essential for your care. This includes a detailed medical and dental history, X-rays, and a thorough clinical examination. If you have any concerns about your teeth or are experiencing any pain, please inform us.

Comprehensive Exam Details:

1. Head and neck cancer screening: We will conduct a screening to check for any signs of cancer in the head and neck area.
2. Periodontal evaluation: This involves examining the pockets around your teeth, noting their depth, and checking for recession or bleeding.
3. Dental examination: We will look for cavities, broken teeth, infections, and other dental issues.

With this information, we will create a personalized treatment plan. This plan will include recommendations on the frequency of regular exams and cleanings, and any necessary treatments to restore normal function without pain or discomfort.

Important Items to Bring for Your First Visit:

1. Medication list: It's crucial to bring a list of any medications you're currently taking, as they can affect your dental treatment.
2. Recent radiographs: If you've had X-rays taken within the past year, please have your previous dental office send these to us before your appointment. This helps us determine if new X-rays are needed.
3. Dental insurance information: If you have dental insurance, bring your subscriber card. This allows us to estimate any out-of-pocket costs for your treatment accurately.

By providing us with this information, we can ensure a smoother and more efficient first visit for you. We look forward to helping you achieve optimal dental health!
