AT YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT

YOUR FIRST DENTAL CHECK-UP

We will welcome you at our reception and ask you to fill out a confidential medical history form.

This ensures your dentist knows about any medical conditions you may have and any medication you are taking. 

We will also ask you to sign a form to complete your NHS registration.

​

You will then be seen by your dentist for your initial check-up.

During your check-up, your dentist will:-

​

• ask about any health problems you have had

• examine your mouth, teeth and gums

• take x rays of your teeth if indicated

• tell you if you need any treatment

• tell you how to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy

​

If you need treatment, your dentist will:-

​

• Explain your options, detailing nhs treatments and alternative options if feasible

• Give you a treatment plan, detailing what treatment is needed and an estimate of the costs.

​

​

AFTER YOUR FIRST DENTAL CHECK-UP

After your appointment, we will offer you another appointment if you need to return for treatment or advise you of your next 6 monthly check-up appointment.
