First visit to the dentist

Initial dental consultation: why you need it and what it includes

Any dental treatment should begin with a consultation with the doctor. Some patients genuinely do not understand why this step is necessary. Some are eager to start treatment, while others consider the consultation an unnecessary waste of money. However, the initial visit is very important. Why? The specialists of the Dent-House Family Dentistry Clinic will tell you why.

What is an initial dental consultation

The first appointment with the dentist is essential. During the consultation, the patient can not only learn about problems in the oral cavity, but also establish a rapport with the doctor. Moreover, the price of the visit is minimal.

It’s critical to visit the dentist every six months – during a check-up, problems you didn’t even know you had are often revealed.

If the doctor finds tooth decay during the initial examination, he or she may suggest starting treatment right the same day. You can also have your teeth professionally cleaned.

The first consultation is extremely important if you are planning to have a tooth extracted, have braces or veneers, crowns or dental implants placed. This is how the doctor will plan a detailed treatment plan.

What an initial appointment with a dental therapist is like

Typically, the initial visit goes like this:

1. The doctor collects a medical history – asking the patient about past problems and treatments.
2. The doctor examines the oral cavity using a mirror and special instruments.
3. For a more accurate diagnosis, hardware diagnostics may be required – X-rays, myography, computer tomography scans.
4. Then the doctor will diagnose and draw up a treatment plan, tell you about the timing and methods, and give you an approximate price for treatment.

Sometimes several specialists need to be consulted for a diagnosis and treatment plan. This is common practice at Dent-House – all our doctors use an interdisciplinary approach and work as a team.

The first appointment is especially important if you have not been to the dentist for a long time, if you want to change clinics or doctors. Thanks to counselling, you will be able to prepare yourself mentally and financially for the solution of your problem.

When to make an initial appointment with a dental therapist

You should make an appointment with your GP if you are concerned:

• tooth decay;
• darkening or sensitivity of the enamel;
• bad breath;
• bleeding gums;
• pulpitis;
• periodontitis;
• small chipped teeth;
• loss of fillings;
• tartar, plaque.

You can also go to a general practitioner if you do not know which dentist to see. The doctor will examine and diagnose you and refer you to the right specialist. Be sure to see a general dentist for preventive care every 6 months.
