When you first come and see us, we will try to find out as much as we can about your oral health, so we can offer you the very best tailor-made treatment. We will also ask about your general medical history and whether you are taking any medication as this can have an impact on any treatment. Then we will have a good look at your teeth and gums to spot any dental health issues and we may need to take x-rays. If we decide you will need treatment, we will devise a plan detailing what will be involved and, if you have to pay for your treatment, how much it will cost. This initial visit is a great opportunity to meet your friendly dentist and start to feel comfortable about coming to see us regularly, which is particularly important for nervous patients.
