What should I expect for my first appointment?

We want your first visit to be comfortable, informative, and stress-free. Here's exactly what to expect when you come to Sacramento Holistic Dentist for the first time.

Standard First Appointment

A typical initial visit includes "a complete exam, with as few x-rays as possible" plus a professional cleaning. We encourage you to bring existing X-rays from other providers to minimize radiation exposure.

Examination Process

Our team reviews your health history, evaluates teeth and gums, discusses cavity prevention strategies, and identifies any immediate concerns. We take a holistic view — asking about diet, medications, and systemic health conditions that can affect your oral health.

Cleaning Techniques

When possible, we prioritize hand scalers over ultrasonic machines. We use "ozonated water to minimize root sensitivity" and apply hydroxyapatite-based products for desensitization and remineralization.

What to Bring

• Existing dental records and X-rays (if available)
• List of current medications
• Insurance information
• Any specific concerns or questions
