Printing tips

  • Print at actual size (100%), not "fit to page", so the lines stay a usable size.
  • It is laid out for US Letter paper and also fits A4.
  • Turn on "background graphics" if the colors come out pale.

What is on this checklist

Bring

  • Insurance card and photo ID
  • List of medicines you take
  • Notes on any pain, sensitivity or bleeding
  • Previous X-rays if you changed dentists

Ask

  • What is urgent, and what can wait?
  • Is there a cheaper option that works?
  • What will my insurance cover? Can I get a pre-estimate?
  • How long should this last?
  • Do you offer a payment plan or membership plan?

After

  • Get a written treatment plan with costs
  • Check the bill against the estimate
  • Book your next cleaning before you leave
