The Baltimore-area dental practice franchise issues an outline of how it deals with new patients during an introductory dental appointment
BALTIMORE, MD / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2021 / Visiting a new dental practice for the first time can be stressful for some people. It involves meeting new dentists, hygienists, and administrative assistants, and trusting them to develop and execute an appropriate medical treatment-not to mention trusting them with intimate personal information. With these thoughts in mind, Smiles R Us Dentistry thought it might be useful to be proactive, open, and forthright about its process for onboarding new patients, and issue an outline of important facts to know about what to expect during their first dental appointment.
To begin with, a new patient's initial consultation usually consists of a simple examination coupled with a review of their treatment options. In most cases, treatment can start the same day as the initial consultation. That being said, patients with complex medical histories or complicated treatment plans will require a second appointment, and treatment will begin then.
After arriving at the initial appointment, new patients can greatly assist Smiles R Us Dentistry and speed up their onboarding process by providing any x-rays taken by previous dentists, a list of any medications they take, and all their pertinent dental insurance information. Regarding x-rays specifically, if a new patient's physician or previous dentist has taken x-rays, it is usually possible to request that they be forwarded to any Smiles R Us Dentistry office. However, if there is not enough time to forward them, Smiles R Us requests that patients pick them up and bring them in person.
It is also important to note that all new patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to dental appointments. Also, any new patients with serious medical conditions must alert a representative from Smiles R Us as to their nature prior to any treatment.
