BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT
The first step to visiting your dentist is
booking an appointment. You should call your
dentist on the phone or book an appointment using
an online form. You can choose a suitable time
thats most convenient for you. If you call your
dentist, the reception team will be friendly and
discuss any concerns you might have about
visiting the dentist. Feel free to ask any
questions about the appointment process during
your call.

ARRIVING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
You do not need to bring anything when you visit
the dentist for your first appointment unless
your dentist has specified otherwise. Once you
visit the dentist, you will be escorted to a
waiting room until your dentist calls you into
the treatment room. Then, your dentist will ask
you to sit in the dental treatment chair, ready
for your checkup.

CHECKUP
Once you sit comfortably in your dentists chair,
they will perform a dental examination. Your
dentist will use light, fingers, and mirrors to
assess your oral health. They will check your
mouth, teeth, and gums for abnormalities, plaque,
or tartar.

GENERAL HEALTH QUESTIONS

• Once your dentist has examined your mouth, they
  will ask you questions about your general health
  and well-being. Here are some of the questions
  you can expect from your dentist
• Have you had any pain, swelling, or oral
  discomfort?
• How often do you brush and floss your teeth?
• Have you had any other health problems recently?
• You should answer these questions honestly, as it
  will allow your dentist to help you resolve any
  issues youre having with your oral health.

DENTAL HYGIENE ADVICE

• Once they have assessed the general state of your
  oral health, your dentist will then begin
  offering you dental health and hygiene advice,
  which might include
• Advising you to cut damaging habits such as
  smoking, sugar, and alcohol.
• Provide you with instructions for brushing and
  flossing your teeth.
• Offer any treatments for bad breath, dry mouth,
  or oral discomfort.

TREATMENT
Having assessed your oral health, your dentist
can now advise you on any treatments you might
need. For instance, if you require wisdom tooth
removal, a root canal treatment, or any other
procedure, your dentist will discuss the
treatment with you and schedule your next
appointment. If you do not need a procedure or
treatment, your dentist will take this time to
plan your next check-up appointment and recommend
a dental cleaning appointment.
