Preparing for Your Dental Visit

• Make an appointment at a time that is convenient for you -
  when you don't have to rush from or to a meeting.

• Make your dental appointment a priority.
  It is only natural to set aside time for doing things that are important to you.

• Tell your family and friends that you have a dental appointment and it is important to you - so that you will get their support and understanding. Get them to help you keep the appointment - and ask you how it went.

• If it is the first time you are visiting us, bring along any documents relevant to your medical history e.g. the names of any drugs you may be allergic to; or old X-rays that you may have regarding previous dental treatment.

• Arrive at the clinic early so that you will have time to settle down and get used to the surroundings. Chat with the receptionist if that helps you to relax.

• When you see our dentist,

  • Talk about what is bothering you

  • Talk about what you fear

  • Ask about what can be done
