A conversation before a decision.
You can tell the dentist what matters to you: a particular tooth, everyday comfort, appearance, cost or simply getting back into a dental routine. You do not need to arrive knowing which procedure you want.
What to bring.
- A list of the questions you would like answered.
- Details of medicines, allergies and relevant health conditions to discuss privately with the dental team.
- Previous dental records or X-rays if you already have them.
- Any practical concerns about travel, follow-up visits or your schedule.
Ask about the plan and fees.
Before the visit, ask about the consultation fee and what it includes. During the consultation, ask why an option is recommended, what alternatives exist, what the risks and limitations are, and what follow-up is expected.
If you feel nervous, say so.
It is okay to tell the team that you feel anxious or have had a difficult dental experience. Ask the dentist to explain what will happen and discuss how you can signal if you need a pause.
