Initial Appointment

IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the initial visit.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to your initial visit (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)

Your initial appointment will consist of an exam which will include:

• Any necessary x-rays, photos, and models.
• An exam of your teeth and gums.
• An oral cancer screening exam.
• A discussion about your concerns.
• A consultation and treatment sequence.

If there is a complex medical history or complex dental problem, it may require a more extensive evaluation and work up and a second consultation appointment.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

• Any dental records and x-rays that you may have. If your records and x-rays are at another dental office, we will be more that happy to assist you in acquiring them from that office.
• A list of your current medications that you are presently taking.
• A copy of your medical or dental insurance, if applicable. This will save time and give us the necessary information to process any claims.
