Choosing a new dentist can be a difficult decision, especially if you have visited the same dentist for a long period of time. There are many reasons that you may have chosen your new dentist. One of the most common reasons that people find a new dentist is that they have moved from their previous location. Also, finding a new job with a new health insurance policy sometimes necessitates the choice of a new dentist. If you have already gone through the process of choosing a dentist Tampa, you know that the decision can be difficult. Even after you have read online reviews and made the best decision that you can, you may not know what to expect when you go in for your first visit. Knowing a little bit about what to expect can help alleviate some of the stress that naturally occurs as a result of changing circumstances.
Generally, when you visit a dentist Tampa practice for the first time, you have a little bit of extra paperwork to do. That is why it is generally recommended that you arrive ten to fifteen minutes early. By arriving before your scheduled appointment time, you can ensure that you have time to fill out the information that they need without having any time conflicts with the actual appointment. Often, you will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire about dental history, supply information about your current insurance company, and they will likely want to make a copy of your insurance card. While many insurance companies cover the cost of preventative visits and cleanings, you may have a co-pay or a deductible that must be met. If this is the case, you will likely be asked to pay your part of the cost while you are there.
You can expect that your first visit to a new dentist Tampa practice will be much like previous visits to other dentists. It is likely that the dentist will want to take x-rays of your teeth. This provides a great deal of information and allows cavities to be seen that might otherwise be overlooked. You can also expect that you will have your teeth cleaned and that you will have a short examination. If you have any cavities, these will usually be filled during a separate appointment.
