questions.
Should I transfer records or X-rays?
Recent records may help your new dental team understand previous findings and treatment. Ask your chosen office whether they are needed and how the office accepts them.
How can I check insurance or payment information?
Call the office with your plan details and the visit or treatment being considered. Coverage and patient costs vary, so ask what information or estimate the office may be able to provide.
What if dental visits make me anxious?
Mention anxiety when scheduling and share what has been difficult in the past. The team can explain what to expect and discuss which comfort considerations may be appropriate for the planned visit.
What should I do if I am in pain?
Call the nearest office and describe when the pain began, its severity, and whether you have swelling, fever, bleeding, or trauma. Dental appointment availability varies. Seek emergency medical care for life-threatening symptoms or difficulty breathing or swallowing.
