The main thing to look for in a dentist is solid credentials. Credentials include a valid dentistry license, board certification, and no history of malpractice or cases of disciplinary action.
You should also check the dentist’s experience, which means two things. First is the duration of years the dentist has worked as a dentist and second is how many similar cases your dentist has handled before. You're better off working with an experienced dentist than a non-experienced one.
Ensure you find a dentist you can afford and that can accommodate your payment plan. However, steer clear of dentists with unreasonably low prices. These may be quack dentists that may do more harm than good. You also want a dentist you can understand and with proper communication skills so you’re always on the same page.
Your first dentist appointment will center on getting information about your dental health. The dentist will ask you to fill out paperwork with questions touching on your physical health, dental history, and insurance information.
Next, the dentist will conduct a dental exam to check your teeth, gums, and tongue for signs of infection and abscesses. This exam may include x-rays, TMJ tests, and other tests. The dentist will note down any dental issues and keep them in your file. The dentist then conducts comprehensive deep cleaning, which involves plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth.
The dentist will then conduct an oral cancer screening to check for signs of oral cancer. They’ll use the information from the tests and cancer screening to create your dental treatment plan. This treatment plan will address your cavities, gum disease, and other dental health complications you may have. In the end, the dentist will advise you on how to preserve your dental health.
Adequate preparation is imperative to a successful first dental appointment. To prepare, first, confirm the date and time of the appointment and call the dentist in advance. Next, gather all the necessary information you need like medical documents, insurance information, and details of the medication you’re currently on.
You’ll also want to schedule your time so that you arrive early at the dentist’s office. Ensure you also wear loose and comfortable clothing so you can relax during the consultation and subsequent treatment. Don’t forget to brush and floss your teeth before the appointment to make it easier for the dentist to examine your teeth and gums.
Once you see the dentist ensure you’re completely honest about your medical history. The more accurate the information the better the dentist can diagnose your condition and provide appropriate treatment. You should also ask any questions about the treatments and payment plans during this first consultation.
