Should I tell the clinic I’m nervous when I book?+
Please do. It lets staff know to take a little extra care in explaining things, and it means you don’t have to find the right moment later.
Will the laser be noisy or frightening?+
Ask the dentist to describe it, because the experience varies with the system and procedure. Knowing what’s coming may take some of the edge off.
Am I expected to decide on the spot?+
No. You should have the chance to ask questions before giving consent, and you can say you’d like time to think over what you’ve heard.
What if I get overwhelmed during the first visit?+
Let someone know, even if it’s just to say you need a minute. Treatment isn’t a test of endurance, and speaking up gives staff a chance to respond.
Do I have to sit through a procedure at my first appointment?+
Ask what’s planned when your appointment is being confirmed. The first priority is assessment, and any treatment would still need your agreement once it’s been explained.
How do Stony Mountain residents introduce themselves to the clinic?+
Telephone (204) 338-3003, or send the form if writing feels easier. Mention that you’re new, and the clinic will respond to arrange a first visit.
