When should you visit the dentist?
Regular dental visits are essential for preventing and promptly treating potential dental issues. We recommend a check-up combined with professional hygiene at least every six months. Appointments should also be scheduled if you experience symptoms such as pain, bleeding gums, or sensitivity.
At our dental practice in Taranto, we welcome patients for both routine check-ups and targeted treatments. Prevention is the key to maintaining long-term oral health, and our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Fear of the dentist: how to approach the first visit
Many people feel anxious before a dental visit, which can sometimes hinder oral health care. At Studio Dentistico Conte, we understand these fears and help patients overcome them, making each experience as comfortable as possible.
In our dedicated first-visit room, patients can get comfortable, familiarize themselves with the environment, and feel safe and relaxed. Transparent communication also helps reduce dental anxiety: we take the time to explain your dental issues and the procedures we use to address them.
Furthermore, at our Taranto practice, we use technologies to minimize patient discomfort and anxiety during orthodontic treatments, including conscious sedation with nitrous oxide and drug-induced conscious sedation.
First visit: symptom analysis and diagnosis
The first dental visit begins with a careful analysis of symptoms. Our team evaluates your clinical situation through targeted questions and a detailed examination. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can identify issues such as cavities, gum disease, or misalignment.
At Studio Dentistico Conte in Taranto, we ensure precise and timely diagnosis. Each treatment is personalized, guaranteeing that every patient receives the care needed for a healthy, radiant smile.
The first dental visit for adults

The first dental visit for children
The first dental visit is also an important milestone for children. At our Taranto practice, we strive to make the experience positive for both children and parents. From the initial phone consultation, we aim to understand the child’s specific needs.
Children are welcomed in a dedicated waiting area designed to help them become comfortable and entertained with interactive games.
A dedicated assistant introduces the child to dental care procedures while the parent completes the medical history. The staff engages the child with questions to make them comfortable and conducts an initial exam to evaluate needed treatments. Afterwards, the specialist explains the findings to the parents and schedules a follow-up appointment to plan the treatment, which is shared at every step. Dr. Antonella Conte assesses the need for additional measures, such as conscious sedation. Once the treatment plan and estimate are confirmed, care begins.
