Meet with the Reception
On your first appointment, the reception will register your information and create a file to store your dental records. You may also be presented with a short questionnaire about your oral health that you will be required to fill. The receptionist will further guide you on the next steps of your visit.
Dental X-Ray
Some patients may need a dental X-ray to check for dental health problems that may not be visible. Commonly, dental X-rays detect decay, tooth structure, decay, and more. Results from the x-ray will then be examined to check for any dental defects or any possible future abnormalities. Most dentists will also do oral cancer screening due to increased cases of cancer. They will examine the soft tissues of the mouth and the areas surrounding the jaws for any sign of cancer.
Evaluation Of Your Oral Health
Next, you’ll meet the dentist who will perform an evaluation of your teeth, gums, and overall mouth structure. He or she will ask you questions about your dental concerns and medical history to narrow your treatment options.
Teeth Cleaning
A dental cleaning may be performed soon after or scheduled at later date. In short, a dental cleaning entails removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line.
Follow-Up Appointment Scheduling
Based on your results, the dentist may schedule a follow-up appointment to further evaluate your dental health or begin recommended treatments.
