Arriving with your completed Health Information forms will allow us to begin your dental treatment on time. If you have not completed your forms please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Your initial exam will last approximately one hour. At this visit we will do a comprehensive oral examination and provide you with an evaluation that will outline your existing dental problems as well as Dr. Lusby’s proposed treatment. In many cases you will also be scheduled with the hygienist for an additional hour to receive a dental cleansing and oral hygiene instructions.
Make your child’s first visit a happy visit.
By putting your child in the proper frame of mind, you can make the first visit to the dentist enjoyable and positive. Tell your child in advance, that someone will look at their teeth. Avoid using words such as "pain" or "hurt" since this may instill the possibility of pain in the child’s thought process. Dr. Lusby will examine your child’s mouth for early signs of decay or other problems. Limiting this first visit to a brief visual exam helps to establish trust before introducing other procedures such as x-rays and cleanings.
Patient Forms
For your convenience, you can download our patient registration forms prior to your first visit. You may also fill them out upon arrival but please arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to fill them out.
