Before your visit
Please bring your health insurance card and identity card so we can check your details. The checklist shows which other documents may be relevant to you. If something is missing or you are unsure, please speak to us.
For the conversation at the practice
A brief look back helps us understand your previous preventive care. If you know, please tell us about these three points:
When you last had a dental check-up. An approximate date is enough for the first conversation.
Whether and roughly when you last had professional teeth cleaning. This may have been on a different day from your check-up.
Whether your previous practice has already discussed intervals for check-ups, professional cleaning or aftercare with you.
Cannot remember exactly? That is fine. You are welcome to bring any existing records. We will discuss your future preventive care together at the practice.
