If your answer is yes to at least one question,
Do go through the following.
You might have
heard of the horrors related to the dental hospital. In fact many of us never have a comfortable feeling on visiting a Dentist thinking of the pain which one may have to withstand while the dentist is working on the tooth. Many of us get the negative vibes even if that single thought
crosses the mind.. the dentist and that horrible chair where we laid to be
examined..Err..
Here are few tricks and ideas if you are visiting a dentist for
the first time.
Why visit a Dentist?
Well, most of us
have a habit of visiting a general physician in regular intervals of time. Let
it be once in every 2-3 months. Likewise, you should be visiting a dentist once
in every 5-6 months.
This is because of
the known secret: Our teeth/gums are the first to get affected with germs. The
reasons can be the improper cleaning before/after having food, fluoride content
is more in the drinking water, not brushing properly, calcium deficiency Or
eating too many sweets and many others.
What does the dentist do? (Basic Things)
A thorough check
up: This is the basic thing the dentist does, just to know about your teeth.
A closer
look of course.
Cleaning: This is to remove the plaque and restore
the natural enamel.
Polishing: This is to provide that yellowish teeth
the extra healthy glow.
If you are
affected with something, the preventive measures/cure
What you should do ?
Please tell the dentist,
what all problems you are/were facing. Let it be any problem related to cavity,
you see a new teeth, any kind of pain, a bad teeth, bad breath just about
anything.
LET THE DENTIST KNOW!
Prepare yourself:
Until and unless
you are undergoing a surgery of replacing tooth or anything of that sort, the
thought of going under the pain should cross your mind.
Even if it’s a
surgery our technology has grown so much that you won’t even know what/when the
surgery took place.
The basic things
ie cleaning, polishing etc will not affect your gums and it doesn’t pain.
After Care:
Ask the dentist about the
foods to avoid and the after care. Make sure you are following the regime the dentist
says.
By doing the above said things, you
have visited a doctor and you have healthy teeth.
