Before Your Visit

What to Bring

Day of Your Appointment

  • Eat a light meal before your appointment (unless instructed otherwise for sedation procedures).
  • Take your regular medications as normal unless your dentist advises otherwise.
  • Arrive 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
  • Brush and floss your teeth before your visit.

For Parents Bringing Children

  • Bring your child's favorite small toy or comfort item.
  • Complete all forms in advance to reduce wait time.
  • Arrive 15-20 minutes early for first visits.
  • Stay positive and calm -- children pick up on parental anxiety.
  • A parent or legal guardian must be present for patients under 18.
