Review Your Routine
The start of a year can be a useful time to consider what is working in your dental routine. Choose habits you can maintain and ask your dental team for help with difficult areas.
Start With an Evaluation
If you are new to Rudnick Dentistry, allow about one hour for the routine evaluation. Cleaning is scheduled after the oral health assessment so the right care can be planned.
Share the Full Health Picture
Tell us about medical conditions, medicines, and concerns such as dry mouth or sensitivity. Dental and medical care support different needs; one should not be presented as a substitute for the other.
Make the Plan Manageable
Ask what needs attention first, what can be monitored, and what the proposed care may cost. Clear priorities help turn a broad resolution into a practical next step.
Your Next Step
Ask what the examination shows and which home care and follow up schedule fit your needs.
