Welcoming You to Your Dental First Visit – Piscataway, NJ
We recognize that most patients appreciate knowing what to expect during their dental first visit with us. Below is an overview of what your first visit will look like.
Welcome to Smile Wellness! Your First Dental Visit Awaits!
Our team will start your new patient dental appointment by asking you some questions about your medical and dental history. Certain medical conditions or medications can impact your treatment plan, so we will also ask you to list any medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking and their dosages.
Dr. Tanna will then perform a comprehensive oral exam, which may include x-rays and a non-invasive oral cancer screening. If no signs of periodontal disease (gum disease) are present, one of our hygienists will continue with dental cleaning procedures. If we do notice signs of periodontal disease, we may ask you to reschedule the cleaning portion of your appointment to allow more time for a thorough cleaning.
Once your exam is complete, Dr. Tanna will discuss her findings with you. Together, you will create a treatment plan that best fits your desires while giving you a healthy smile.
