Your first visit is all about you – your comfort, your happiness, and your health.
During your first visit, we will review your dental and medical history forms, and take X-rays of your teeth and mouth. You'll meet with Dr. Messina, who will ask about any concerns you have, discuss your X-rays, help you create your own individual treatment plan, and answer all your questions about your oral health. Our talented hygienist Rachel will clean and polish your teeth, checking your teeth and gums for any cavities or early signs of tooth decay or gingivitis.
Bring your smile, but also remember to bring these with you to your first appointment:
- Your completed patient information form
- Your insurance card
Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining a healthy smile!
The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist at least every six months (or more frequently for those with a history of gum disease) for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
We understand that you have a busy schedule, so when you're preparing to visit our office, please remember that most appointments usually last from forty-five to ninety minutes.
