Keep Your Dentist in the Know!

9 Things to Mention to your Dentist Each Visit

Before the exam:

1. Any changes in your health history. Aches? Pains? The flu? Tell your dentist!
2. Any new medications (including over the counter). If you’ve been using a new prescription or just a lot of Advil, let us know!
3. Any changes in your mouth. For instance, if your gums have been bleeding it helps for us to be informed so we can address a possibly serious issue. 

During the exam:

1. Any lesions that have developed.
2. Any area of pain or discomfort. We try our best to be gentle with our work but be sure to enlighten us about anywhere that is especially sensitive!
3. Any concerns you have about your mouth.  Tell us about any concerns you might have so we can address them swiftly!

After the exam:

1. Confirm your next visit to our dental practice. We enjoy keeping your pearly whites healthy so, be sure to set up your next appointment for your convenience.
2. Concerns about appearance. Don’t be afraid to ask us about the appearance of your teeth. We want you to be comfortable with your smile!
3. Concerns about losing teeth. Feel a loose tooth? Let us know so we can plan a solution with you.
