First visit to a faculty: what to bring and what to expect

UniDent editorial team · July 27, 2026

Medically reviewed by: Dr Aleks Aleksiev · reviewed July 27, 2026

Allow more time than for an ordinary appointment — and do not schedule anything straight afterwards. Bring identification, a list of the medicines you take, and any older X-rays or records. If you cannot attend, cancel in advance.

What to bring

  • Identification.
  • A list of the medicines you take — including blood thinners and supplements.
  • Older X-rays and records from previous treatment, if you have them.
  • For a child: a parent or guardian who stays for the whole visit.

How much time to allow

More than you expect. A visit to a teaching clinic runs longer because the supervising teacher checks each stage. Do not book an important meeting straight afterwards, and do not arrive with half an hour to spare.

What you must mention

  • Chronic conditions.
  • Allergies, including to medicines and latex.
  • Pregnancy, or the possibility of it.
  • Whether you take blood thinners.
  • Whether you have fainted or felt unwell during medical procedures.

None of this is asked out of curiosity. It determines whether and how a procedure can go ahead, and it is part of your safety.

If you cannot attend

Cancel in advance through the platform. The student has reserved time and equipment specifically for your case, and a no-show without warning costs somebody a teaching opportunity that does not come back.

A no-show without warning incurs a fee, and your account is blocked from new bookings until it is paid. Cancelling in advance carries no such consequence.

Prices, conditions and whether a case can be accepted are determined by the relevant faculty and the specific teaching situation.

What to do next

  • Prepare identification, a medicines list and any older X-rays.
  • Allow more time than for a routine check-up.
  • If your plans change, cancel in advance.
