PATIENT INFORMATION

First Visit

Generally, your initial appointment will consist of a comprehensive oral exam, oral cancer screening, periodontal exam, digital x-rays and a dental cleaning unless your appointment is a problem focused appointment. Dr. McMahon will explain your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, treatment can be done the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to start your treatment.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

  • X-rays that are not older then 6 months from a prior dentist.
  • A list of medications you are presently taking.
  • If you have dental insurance, please provide this information when making your initial appointment. 

IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e. antibiotics, for pre-med.)

X-Rays

If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within the last 6 months), kindly request that they forward them to our office via e-mail to info@redappledental.com or film copies. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
