Bleeding Gums With a New Patient Visit: What to Expect in South Surrey
dentalhealth
Booking a first visit because of bleeding gums? Here is what happens, what to bring, and how we help you feel at ease.
If bleeding gums have finally nudged you to book, welcome. A first visit is mostly about listening, looking and planning together, in a relaxed setting.
Before your visit
- Write down when you notice the bleeding and how long it has lasted
- List your medications, including blood thinners
- Bring dental insurance or CDCP details
- Tell us if dental visits make you nervous
During your visit
We review your health history, examine your teeth and gums, and may take X-rays if needed. Learn more in types of dental X-rays explained. Your hygienist can then clean above and below the gumline and talk through home care.
Your plan
You will leave knowing what we found and what we recommend, whether that is a cleaning schedule, home-care changes, or gum therapy. Nothing is rushed, and we will explain things in plain language.
If you feel anxious
Many of our patients do. We take time to talk, and options like sedation dentistry are available.
Costs and coverage
See dental insurance and CDCP coverage for details, and our new patient information to get started.
