Healthy Teeth for Life
Everyone wants to make sure they do what is right to maintain healthy teeth. Although sometimes it is necessary to visit a cosmetic dentist to correct aesthetic problems with your teeth, most of the time you just need to brush and floss your teeth daily and maintain regular visits to the dentist every six months.
If you are nervous about visiting the dentist, don't be; this guide will explain what to expect when you have a regular check up at the dentist's office. If you have any further questions, you can contact our Indianapolis family dentistry office for additional information.
The Dentist Appointment
When you enter Indianapolis family dentist Mike Deldar's office, you will check in with the receptionist, who will give you forms to fill out. You will need:
- Your medical history and name of your physician. You should also know of any health issues that run in your family.
- Insurance information - Most dentists accept some form of insurance. If you do not have insurance. Dr. Deldar also accepts other payment options including paying by credit card or with cash, he also offers outside financing with 3, 6 and 12 months same as cash with no interest or extended payment plan up to 60 months.
- Names of Emergency Contacts - Dentist appointments are safe; however, sometimes issues arise and emergencies happen. It is important to have the name and phone number of someone you trust in case of an unexpected issue or incident.
After you have filled out the form, you will be ready to see Dr. Deldar.
The Dental Examination
During your visit, Dr. Deldar will complete the following:
- Pre-Clinical Welcome Meeting — You will be greeted by Dr. Deldar. This allows the guest and Dr. Deldar to get to know each other and discuss any concern you may have before any treatment.
- Examination of the head, neck, and mouth — Dr. Deldar will check your face and neck to make sure there are no abnormalities such as oral cancer, overly dry lips or odd swollen areas. He will also check the lymph nodes in your neck for any unusual swelling. Next, Dr. Deldar will check your teeth, gums, and mouth for any sign of disease or cavities. If there are any issues, he will discuss all the treatment options available to you.
- Teeth Cleaning — Dr. Deldar will remove tartar and plaque build-up near the gum line using special instruments. This will help prevent many dental issues such as cavities and gum disease.
- X-rays — Although X-rays are not taken at every visit, at least once a year, Dr. Deldar will want to take X-rays of your teeth and jaw to see if there are any issues or concerns. We utilize the digital X-rays for safety to you and the environment.
In order to maintain proper dental health, it is important to visit your dentist twice a year. If you are in Indianapolis, Indiana, please contact the Indianapolis family dentistry office of Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ to schedule your next dental appointment with Dr. Deldar.
