Thank you for choosing Brabham Smiles! Here are a few tips to ensure you have a hassle-free first visit: Make sure you confirm your dental appointment. Please call our dental office the day before your appointment to confirm the time if we haven’t already contacted you. Prepare your medical and dental history. Make sure that your dentist has access to these records. This includes any medications you are taking. Make sure you have your payment and health fund information with you. During your appointment, your dentist will either bill your insurance provider or send you a bill, so don’t forget to bring this information with you. Arrive early. As a new patient, you’ll need to fill out some paperwork. Make sure you arrive at your appointment at least 15 minutes early, so you have time to complete insurance forms and other paperwork before your appointment. This will also give our staff time to set everything up. Make a list of all your questions or concerns. It would be best if you prepared for your first dental check-up by writing down all your questions and concerns so you could discuss them with your dentist. Addressing your concerns and questions can relieve your anxiety and prepare you for what’s to come. If you’re anxious, let us know. Make them aware of your dental anxiety in advance. We will do our best to make you feel comfortable. Take your dental appliances with you, too. Bring any oral appliances you wear to your dentist appointment so we can check and clean them. Take off any mouth jewellery. Please remove any mouth piercings before your visit. Schedule an appointment for a follow-up check-up. Make an appointment for your next dental check-up and cleaning before you leave the office. That way, you’ll keep up with your regular visits.
