Ask whether a routine cleaning or periodontal cleaning is being recommended.
During your consultation
Confirm appointment duration, sensitivity concerns and home-care instructions.
Things to confirm
- Does the practice offer the specific service you need?
- What are the professional credentials and relevant experience?
