Your First Visit

Your 1st visit:

At your first appointment at the Halton Dental Specialty Group, you can expect:

• A review of your medical and dental health history.
• A thorough evaluation of your condition.
• An explanation of your diagnosis and the treatment options for your condition.
• An oral cancer screen of your lips, neck, cheek tissues, gums, and tongue.

• Your referral slip and any recent x-rays (less than one year old) if necessary
• A list of medications (including dosages) you are currently taking
• Your health card
• If you have dental insurance, bring the necessary information (insurance company name, policy, and identification number)
• X-rays may be required for your first appointment to help properly diagnosis your condition. Current x-rays are essential for the detection of decay, periodontal bone loss, tumors, cysts, and even tartar. If your dentist has x-rays on file, you may request that they be forwarded to our office, or bring them with you to your first appointment. If additional x-rays are required, they will be taken in our office and copies will be forwarded to your dentist, along with a progress report for their records.
