Schedule an appointment: Call your dentist’s office or use their online scheduling tool to make an appointment that fits your schedule.

Review your dental history: If you’re seeing a new dentist, make sure to bring your dental records and any recent X-rays to your appointment. Also, make a list of any concerns or symptoms you’ve been experiencing.

Verify insurance coverage: Contact your dental insurance provider to verify your coverage and any out-of-pocket expenses.

Confirm appointment details: A day or two before your appointment, confirm the date, time, and location of your visit with the dental office.

Brush and floss before the appointment: Ensure that your teeth are clean and free of debris before your visit.

Bring necessary items: Bring your insurance card, identification, and any payment or co-pay information required by your dental office.

Discuss your dental health with your dentist: During your appointment, discuss any concerns you have with your dentist and ask any questions you may have about your dental health.

Follow-up instructions: Make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations provided by your dentist following your visit, such as scheduling a follow-up appointment or maintaining proper oral hygiene.

By following this checklist, you can help ensure a smooth and successful dental visit.
