Visiting the dentist can daunt some people, but if you follow these five tips you should be able to be – “Ready! Get set! Go!” to your visit.
Being ready helps you and your dentist make the most of your dental visits.
Whether your visit is a checkup, a cleaning, or a treatment, there are a few things you should do.
- Confirm your appointment. Check with your dental office 24 hours in advance of your appointment. This avoids any mix-ups, and makes sure that you and your dentist will be ready for each other at the same time.
- Arrive on time. Actually, a few minutes early won’t hurt. This helps you be more relaxed and at ease and also give you more time to fill in any forms that might be needed.
