How can I prepare for a dentist visit?

Here is a question & answer for preparing to go to the dentist:

 

It depends on the nature of your dentist visit. If you haven't had a visit to the dentist in a while, prepare to allot enough time for a full set of dental X-rays, a visual dental exam and maybe even a teeth cleaning. If you have dental insurance, make sure your dentist accepts it and inquire about co-pays beforehand. Be prepared to share your medical history with your dentist and make a list of any problems to discuss. After an exam, your dentist will present a treatment plan, and it's important to ask plenty of questions about treatment time, cost and post-treatment recovery so that you can plan accordingly. For specific dental treatments like a root canal, be sure to ask your dentist if any medications or supplements you're taking are off-limits. And if you have dental anxiety or any concerns, talk it over with your dentist. Other treatments have specific prep requirements, so be sure you follow them to a "T."
