The first time at a new dental office can feel a little like the first day of school. In other words, a little unnerving. Fortunately, taking time to properly prepare and knowing what to expect can work wonders in simplifying and de-stressing the process of getting the vital oral health care you deserve.
How to Prepare for Your First Appointment
How to prepare for your first trip to a new dental office? It’s pretty simple! Here are a few steps to help streamline the process of starting a relationship with a new dental team:
- Collect any x-rays and relevant records from your previous dentist.
- Note any medications you’re taking and all of your allergies.
- Arrive a little early to fill out all necessary paperwork.
- Notify the receptionist or Dr. Khan of any dental anxiety so we can adjust your care to ensure you're comfortable.
- Be ready to talk about at-home dental care habits, your diet, habits (like biting your fingers), and any other factors that may affect your oral health.
What to Expect When You Get to Burke Dental Center
Your first visit to us is usually an introduction between you, Dr. Nabeel Khan, and our team. After your paperwork is complete, Dr. Khan will carefully examine your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw. We may also take full-mouth x-rays to get a comprehensive picture of your oral health. Dr. Khan will then discuss his findings with you, answer questions, and, if necessary, make recommendations for restorative treatments and your at-home care routine.
