Want to Make the Most out of Every Dental Visit? Here's How

When you visit Scott M. Jordan, DDS, your dentist in Encinitas, we want you to get the most out of your dental appointment. Your oral health can change from one appointment to the next, and we want to take the best care of you possible. Please review some simple tips to help you maximize your time.

Collect Your Information and Bring it to Your Appointment

One thing you can always count on is change. Here is a list of updated and useful information to bring with you to your appointment.

• List of medications
• Updated medical history
• Changes you have noticed with your teeth, gums, or jaw
• Questions since your last visit
• Any complaints about painful or unattractive teeth

You might even find it useful to store questions on your SmartPhone when you think of them because it’s easy for important things to slip your mind.

Know Your Coverage

Insurance plans can change from year-to-year. Be sure to get an updated group number and identification number and bring it with you to your appointment. If you do not receive a new card in the mail, you can often print out or take a screenshot of your information online.

Updating your insurance information with the front desk team will ensure prompt payment of your claims.

Tell Your Dentist if You Are Anxious

Many patients are fearful of the dentist. If you are having anxiety, you are not alone. Finding a dentist in Encinitas who offers sedation can provide a reliable and stress-free way to take care of your smile.

Sedation dentistry requires a consultation to determine if the medication we use is safe for you. 

Relax and Enjoy Yourself

We are here to look after you and hope that by coming to your dental appointment prepared, you discuss everything important with Dr. Scott Jordan and spend the rest of the time relaxing and feeling confident that your smile is in good hands.
