YOUR FIRST DENTAL VISIT
What to expect during your first visit with us!
Your first dental visit with us will include a consultation in which we will explain your diagnosis and treatment options. Treatment can begin the same day as your consultation, and we will ask you before seeing the doctor if you would like your treatment to begin that day.
If you have a complicated medical history or treatment plan, we may offer you the option of scheduling a second visit and having your treatment completed on a different day.
When You Arrive At Our Office For Your First Dental Visit, We Will Ask You For The Following Information And Items:
- Your Referral Slip, A Form Given To You By Your Dentist.
- A List Of Medications You Are Currently Taking.
- All Of Your Dental Insurance Information.
- X-Ray Films (If Applicable)
Important Notice: All information provided by our patients is safeguarded and kept strictly confidential. Bristol Endodontics complies with all Data Protection Law requirements. Under no circumstances will we share your information with third parties or affiliated companies.
If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must accompany you to your consultation!
X-Ray Films
If your dentist has taken X-ray films of the tooth needing treatment within the last 3 months, you may bring them to your first dental visit or request that their office forwards them to us. If additional X-ray films are necessary, they can be taken to our office.
Our office uses the highest quality digital X-ray machines available, and we place an emphasis on using the lowest amounts of radiation necessary for optimal care.
Before surgery
If you have a medical condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or rheumatic fever, or if you have artificial heart valves and joints, please notify our office.
Also, please let us know if you are currently taking any medications (such as heart medications, aspirin, or anticoagulant therapy) or if you require any medication prior to your dental cleanings (for example, antibiotics for pre-medication).
