Before you come in for your dental visit, how are you feeling about the approaching appointment? Do you feel completely prepared? Or, do you feel like you didn’t even realize there was anything to prep for and you wish you’d have considered this sooner? No worries! We are here to ensure you show up feeling ready and relaxed. Some simple preparatory tips will have you all set.
Skip The Onions And Garlic (Please)
You probably already recognize that it’s a good idea to brush your teeth before your visit (we certainly appreciate it when you do!). However, you may forget that there are certain foods that may linger when you eat them, even if you brush afterwards. We encourage you, if you can, to skip the heavily scented foods like onions and garlic to make everyone’s experience more pleasant during your dental visit!
Treat Lips Well Beforehand
Remember that we will be having you open your mouth, which means you will be stretching your lips for an extended period of time (on and off) during your dental visit. If you have chapped or cracked lips, now is the time to apply lip balm and help them heal. That way, you can feel completely comfortable during your appointment.
Get Your Ducks In A Row
There may be some details to consider before your dental visit with us on the administrative end of things. For instance, you will want to ensure you have gotten questions about your insurance coverage answered, you’ll want to decide how you plan on paying for your visit, and you will want to make sure you have your entire day rescheduled if you need to shift things around to make time to see us.
