How do I know when I had my last cleaning?+
A rough guess is plenty. Your previous dental office may have a record of it, and you can give their name to the clinic if records might need to be requested.
Do I need my old dental records to become a patient?+
No. A new-patient appointment includes reviewing your history and assessing your mouth. If recent images exist at your old office, you can ask whether they can be transferred.
How do I find out what my benefits will pay for?+
Your plan’s booklet or provider is the place to look for your specific limits. You can also request an estimate from the clinic, then compare the two.
Do I have to see the dentist every time, or just the hygienist?+
The two schedules may differ, so a visit might or might not include both. Ask what you are due for, and your team can recommend what fits your needs.
What if I haven’t been flossing?+
Be honest, because that is useful information and not a confession. Your hygienist’s job is to help you find a routine you can keep up, not to give you a hard time.
Is it fine to ask how much something will cost before agreeing?+
It certainly is. If care is recommended, you can ask for an estimate and how it fits with your plan, so that you understand what is involved before making a decision.
