About Appointment Prep

These guides are for adults who want to get more out of their dental appointments, whether that means a routine check, a follow-up or a first visit to a new practice. No special knowledge is assumed.

Each guide takes one small piece of preparation, such as the medication list, symptom notes or the last brush before you leave, and weighs up the common ways of doing it so you can choose what suits you.

The aim is simply to help readers make sense of everyday oral health topics. The site is an independent guide, it does not replace advice from your own dentist, and it is not medical advice.
