Have you just moved to the Ormond Beach area? Or perhaps you’re looking to find a new dental care provider. It may simply be that it’s been a few years since you last had a professional look at your teeth. In any case, you might be unsure of what will happen during your first visit to the dentist in Ormond Beach. In all likelihood, you can expect the following:
A Talk About Your Dental History
Your new dentist will want to know about your pearly whites. You’ll probably have to fill out forms about your oral health history. You may have to answer questions regarding:
- Past dental procedures, such as root canals or surgeries
- Orthodontics issues
- Cosmetic work, such as veneers
- Implants
- Your habits, such as whether you use tobacco
- Your overall health
- Your feelings about visiting the dentist
After you fill out the initial paperwork, your dentist or hygienist might have further questions for you.
Because it can take a while for you to fill out your medical and dental history forms, you may want to take care of this before you head to the office for your appointment. You easily download and print new patient forms from the Brown and Nawrocki website.
A Thorough Exam
After you get your teeth cleaned, your dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth and gums. As they’re looking at your mouth, they’ll check for such issues as:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Signs of oral cancer
- Tooth misalignment
- Infections
Your dentist might also suggest that you have x-rays taken so you can be sure that you aren’t suffering from any conditions that a basic visual examination wouldn’t be able to catch.
Planning for Future Treatment
After your exam, you and your dentist can discuss any future treatment you may require. You can also discuss talk about your goals for your smile. After all, a healthy smile deserves to be beautiful, doesn’t it? Your cosmetic dentist in Ormond Beach offers several services that can fix or disguise the flaws in your pearly whites:
- Professional whitening. Using a concentrated bleaching gel and a special light, your teeth can become dramatically brighter in one short visit to your dentist.
- Porcelain veneers. These thin pieces of porcelain that your dentist attaches to the fronts of your teeth can disguise discoloration, minor gaps, chips, and cracks.
- Crooked teeth can be embarrassing! Invisalign works faster than traditional metal braces, and it is more convenient as well.
