Is there anything I must do before a filling?+
Generally, it’s enough to know your health history and medications, and to follow any instructions you’re given when booking. If you’re unsure about something specific, the clinic can answer that when you call.
Should I brush before I come in?+
Your normal routine is a sensible approach. If the tooth is sore enough to make brushing difficult, mention that when you arrive, or phone if the soreness has become significant.
What if I forget my insurance information?+
It’s a good idea to let the clinic know as soon as you can. Coverage questions can only be answered with your plan’s details, so a missing card simply delays that part of the conversation.
Should I eat before my appointment?+
Ask when you book, particularly if you have a health condition that affects when you eat. Bear in mind that you’ll have to wait until numbness has gone before chewing afterward.
How far ahead will I know the appointment’s length?+
A useful estimate generally comes after the tooth has been examined, as size, location, material and access all play a role. If your schedule is tight, tell us when we’re arranging your visit.
