Your First Visit
Your first visit to the doctor typically includes an evaluation by the doctor, as well as an x-ray that allows the doctor to view the structure of the jaw, the position of any teeth that have not yet erupted, malformed roots, and tooth decay.The initial visit also involves getting your medical history. When you share your medical history with the doctor, it is important to provide complete, up-to-date information on your health. Inform the doctor if you have experienced recent hospitalization or surgery, or if you have recently been ill. Also tell the doctor the names, doses, and frequency of any medications you are taking, whether prescription or over-the-counter products, and the name of your primary care physician. If you are an existing patient, please inform the doctor and staff of any changes in your health, medications, insurance, address, or phone numbers. Consultation After the doctor has evaluated your condition, we will discuss your personalized treatment plan with you in detail, including the cost for your particular case. Appointments We understand that life changes rapidly and you may need to reschedule an appointment. If this occurs, please notify us as soon as possible so that we may extend our scheduling options to others in need. If you do not have an appointment but feel it is an emergency, please call us and we will schedule you in for a same-day emergency appointment at one of our locations. If you feel your injuries are life threatening, please dial 911.
