Prepare the information you have
Gather previous relevant records and any explanations previously given to you, if any. Ask the clinic if you need to bring in old images or documents. Write down the names of the drugs and other products used by checking their existing records. If a special preparation has been requested for you, follow your own dentist's instructions; Don't make rules for your own date from another person's experience.
Separate your expectations from your questions
Explain your reason for meeting in a short sentence. List the topics you want clarification on: how the initial assessment will be done, when the plan will be discussed, how subsequent visits will be scheduled. You may want the terms you do not understand to be explained more simply. If there are communication or waiting conditions that you are uncomfortable with, share this in advance; You don't have to wait until the transaction starts to ask questions about the layout of the call.
Discuss duration and next step
Ask if the first appointment is reserved for the interview and evaluation only or if any other procedures are planned on the same day. If your work or transportation schedule is very tight, indicate this in advance. At the end of the conversation, note the purpose of the proposed next appointment and any points you need to prepare for. Learn how to notify the clinic when a date change is necessary.
