First Visit To The Dentist And What To Expect

By Adriana Noton


When a person is changing dentists and visiting one for the first time, they may wonder what to expect. Most dental offices like to see a patient for an initial consultation first before they begin any work. A first visit to the dentist may be a full session time slot, so that the dental team have enough to find to do a full consultation and run some tests on the patient.

Visiting a dental office for the first time, may involve bringing the proper insurance documents along. If a person does have dental coverage they may need to bring the information as well as cards and booklets so that the dental office can process the info in their computer system. They may need to see what type of overage is offered along with limitations and contact information.

On top of insurance info, dental offices will also want to find out about the patients personal information. They will need to know about the contact numbers and names, emergency numbers, and previous dentist history. A few pages of information may need to be filled out during the initial visit.

Heading into an office for the first time, may have a patient wondering what to expect. The dental team will want to establish a positive relationship with their new patient. They will introduce themselves as well as other staff members to the new client.

During the first encounter with the dental staff, the patient can discuss what they would like to see done to their teeth. They may want some cavities filled or they could have some concerns with their gum lines. There are many topics that can be discussed during the first visit.

Tests may need to be run on a patient during their first visit. These tests could include x rays as well as bone and gum tests. The dentist will want to know what shape the teeth and mouth are in before any work is started. They can use the test results to create a plan of action for future dental work. Depending on the results from the tests, specialists can be booked for the patient. Professional offices will have the ability to make referrals and seek additional support if needed.

These professional offices will suggest a plan of action based on the test results. X rays can show a professional tooth expert how to proceed with future procedures. They can recommend certain procedures and dental work to improve the oral health of the patient.
