At McGough and McGough, we are HAPPY to answer any QUESTIONS or CONCERNS about your DENTAL HEALTH during your visit.
During your first visit, we will take time to answer your questions and start to build a relationship. Please take a moment to go over the 3 steps to ensure you are better prepared for your appointment.
Before your first visit, make sure your teeth are brushed and you have completed the new patient form for a quicker check in.
1You will experience a comfortable environment and receive quality dental care from dentists trained in the latest procedures and equipment.
2You will receive a home dental care package equipped with the tools necessary for maintaining your dental health and a follow-up visit will be scheduled.
3Regular care can prevent future dental problems. If problems do arise, it is easier to detect any underlying dental conditions and less costly to repair them while still small. Some diseases and medical problems will manifest themselves orally, and the dental team may be the first to see them.
Your blood pressure and pulse will be checked, X-rays, if needed, oral cancer screening, oral hygiene instructions and recommendations, treatment recommendations and possible referrals for braces or wisdom teeth removal. There is also an inspection and cleaning of any removable devices such as a partial denture, and finally, if appropriate, we will scale and polish the teeth.
Yes, it is always easier and less expensive to repair a problem or future problem in its earliest stages. Most people do not realize they have decay until it gets to the point it is causing pain or is visible to the naked eye. Dentists are also looking for cysts, tumors, cancers, growth problems, and signs of potential health problems not directly related to the mouth.
