How To Prepare For Your Visit
Everyone cares about the health of their teeth, because healthy teeth lead to a beautiful smile. Our smiles are often the first thing someone notices when they meet us, so it is easy to understand why having a bright, white, and even smile is so important to so many people.
Regular dental visits are imperative to achieving and maintaining good oral health. However, visiting the dentist for the first time, or switching to a new dentist, can be a little nerve-racking. Dental appointments should never be scary, but many patients still experience some trepidation when coming in for their first appointment, especially children.
When you visit Oak Lawn Smiles Family Dentistry, a trusted dentist in Burbank, IL with years of experience and returning patients, you are visiting a family oriented practice. We value each and every relationship with our patients and their families. We want to create a positive dental experience in a nurturing environment for our young patients, elderly, and everyone in between.
To prepare for your visit with us, we recommend talking to your family if you will be accompanying parents, children, or other family members during their appointment. Being sure to refrain from using certain terminology, such as “drill” or “needle” will aid in ensuring every person coming into the office feels comfortable. We also recommend that you let your family member(s) who are scheduled for an appointment know precisely what a dentist does, and that the appointment will entail a simple exam, cleaning, and possibly some pictures.
If you are visiting us for a one-on-one appointment, being aware of your dental needs and history will help the appointment go more smoothly. Please determine any questions or concerns you may have before arriving so we can help put your mind at ease.
Please review the following list to ensure your upcoming appointment and the New Patient Registration process is completed as efficiently as possible.
- Ensure any necessary paperwork is filled out prior to arriving at the office.
- Bring your current insurance information.
- For children, try not to schedule appointments at nap time.
- If you know your family member is not feeling well or is running a fever, please call to reschedule.
