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:
-
Head and neck cancer screening: We will conduct a
screening to check for any signs of cancer in the head and neck area.
-
Periodontal evaluation: This involves examining the
pockets around your teeth, noting their depth, and checking for
recession or bleeding.
-
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:
-
Medication list: It's crucial to bring a list of any
medications you're currently taking, as they can affect your dental
treatment.
-
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.
-
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!
