From the welcome chat to your check-up, here is how a first appointment usually unfolds.

Your first visit usually starts with a conversation about your health, any worries and what you would like from your care. Your dentist then examines your teeth and gums and may take x-rays if needed.

Afterwards you will talk through what was found and agree a plan together. There is no need to rush, and you can ask as many questions as you like.

This article is general information, not personal dental advice. For guidance about your own teeth, please speak with your dentist.
