Avoid These Things Before Your Next Dental Appointment

At Dr. Matt Henry, we strive to make every visit as comfortable and productive as possible. From the moment you step into our office to the time you leave the dentist’s chair, we want your experience to be a positive one. To that end, here are some things you should avoid before your next dental visit so that your time with your Jacksonville, FL dentist is as productive as it can be.

Forgetting Needed Information

Were you referred to our office by another dentist? It’s helpful to have your records transferred to us ahead of time so that we have a chance to review them and also so we don’t have to redo exams or recent digital imaging in order to diagnose and treat you. Anything you can provide in terms of records and contact information will be very helpful as far as expediting your visit.

Making Big Plans After Major Procedures

If you’re having anything major done during your visit, such as restorative dentistry in Jacksonville, FL, you should avoid making big plans on the day of and perhaps the next couple of days after your appointment. You should go easy on yourself and give yourself time to adjust and recuperate after certain procedures; first for yourself, and second for the better outcome for what you had done.

Skipping Your Usual Oral Hygiene Routine

Even if you’re getting a professional cleaning, don’t skip brushing and flossing before your appointment. Arriving with clean teeth makes it easier for the dental team to examine your mouth and focus on areas that may need special attention.
