What to Expect During Your First Visit
At Middlesex OMS, we believe that a thorough consultation is the first step toward achieving optimal oral health. Whether you’re coming in for routine care or addressing a specific concern, Dr. Goulston and our team are here to make your experience as comfortable and informative as possible. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during your dental consultation.
Welcome & Initial Discussion
When you arrive for your consultation, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff who will assist you with the necessary paperwork. Afterward, Dr. Goulston will sit down with you to discuss your medical and dental history, including any concerns or goals you may have for your oral health. This is your time to ask questions, voice any worries, and let us know about your past dental experiences.
Comprehensive Examination
Once we’ve discussed your history, Dr. Goulston will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes:
- Visual Inspection: Dr. Goulston will carefully examine your teeth and gums for any signs of decay, disease, or other issues.
- Oral Cancer Screening: A routine part of every examination is a screening for oral cancer, where we check the tissues in your mouth for any abnormal signs.
- Jaw and Bite Assessment: We’ll assess how your teeth come together when you bite and look for any signs of jaw dysfunction or misalignment.
Digital X-rays (if needed)
If necessary, digital X-rays may be taken to provide a detailed view of your teeth, roots, and surrounding bone structures. This helps us detect any underlying issues that aren’t visible during a physical exam, such as cavities, bone loss, or impacted teeth. Rest assured, our digital X-rays use minimal radiation and offer a quicker, clearer image.
Personalized Treatment Plan Discussion
Once the examination is complete, Dr. Goulston will review his findings with you and discuss a personalized treatment plan based on your oral health needs. This plan is designed specifically for you and may include:
- Preventive care (e.g., cleanings, fluoride treatments)
- Cosmetic treatments (e.g., whitening, veneers)
- Restorative care (e.g., fillings, crowns, bridges)
- Orthodontic care (if applicable)
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, express any preferences, and discuss your goals so that we can create a plan that aligns with your needs and lifestyle.
Next Steps & Scheduling Your Appointment
After your consultation, we’ll schedule any follow-up appointments needed, whether for further diagnostics, cleanings, or the start of any recommended treatments. Our team will walk you through the process and ensure you feel comfortable with the next steps.
