Your First Visit
American Dental Association Recommendations
Most people should visit our dentists for preventive dental care every six months. However, people with a high risk of developing cavities may need to visit more often. The doctors at Tamarac Dental Care can help you determine how often you need to visit for preventive dental care.
Preparing for the first visit
- Being well-prepared for your appointment will ensure we have the required information to provide the best possible care for you. Review the content of our website to help relieve any unnecessary anxiety you may be feeling.
- Please fill out the requested medical history form and the insurance information prior to visiting us.
- When transferring from another dental practice, we will request all prior dental records be sent to us with your approval.
- At your first visit, we will complete a Comprehensive oral examination and take necessary x-rays.
The first visit to our office is very important and our goal is to make a memorable first impression!
Upon entering the office, you will be greeted immediately by our friendly staff. Our front staff will check you in and make sure all appropriate paperwork is filled out. Next, our skilled dental hygienists or dental assistants will bring you to your dental chair. We will then review all your medical/dental history and talk about what you hope to accomplish at your visit with us.
With approval from one of our doctors, the necessary x-rays will be taken. One of our doctors will then perform a thorough examination of the oral cavity including your gums, tongue, throat, teeth, etc. We will spend sufficient time with you reviewing the cavity process, diet, hygiene, fluoride exposure and much more! We will also review if we found any cavities, discuss a treatment plan, and review all options available to provide an enjoyable patient experience.
If it is determined a regular cleaning is needed by our doctors and hygienists, the cleaning will be completed the same day!
