After you’ve called us to book an appointment for you, you’re going to need to round up a few items to bring with you. Make sure you’ve got a piece of acceptable personal identification, for starters. A driver’s license will work just fine, for example. If you’ve been to see your regular dentist recently and brought paperwork, or even a detailed receipt, home, make sure you have that ready to go to bring with you, as well. If you’ve had any work done recently and have any paperwork that you can bring, it’ll help the emergency dentist and their team greatly. If you’re currently taking any medications or know about any allergies you may have, making a list will also help the emergency dentist and their team. They need to know this information to ensure they don’t give you anything during your appointment that will cause an allergic reaction or clash with any medications you’re currently on. Once we’ve called you back to give you the details of your appointment, you should consider calling ahead to see if your dental insurance, if applicable, is accepted. If not, it couldn’t hurt to ask roughly how much your appointment will cost you. On the day of your appointment, make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes early. Emergency dentists operate just like your regular dentist does, so you’ll need to give yourself some time in advance to fill out paperwork and ask any questions you may have. Finally, make sure you let the emergency dentist know about any anxiety or concerns you may have. A fear of the dentist is more common than you’d think, so they know how to keep their patients comfortable.
