While many people enjoy going to the dentist and leaving with a fresh mouth and squeaky-clean teeth, others may feel nervous knowing a dentist appointment looming.
This could be due to feeling like your at-home oral care hasn’t been the best, or fear of discomfort in dental treatments. And while this can be a normal feeling, we want to reassure you that at Birmingham Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, you can take comfort in knowing your comfort and satisfaction are top priorities.
Another key is to come prepared! Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your dental visit.
Prepping for your dentist appointment
There are some ways you prepare for your next dentist appointment that can help both you and your dentist.
First off, feel free to eat as you normally would throughout the day. Just make a point to brush and floss afterward to remove any debris. If you have not, we can have you do so before your cleaning.
Also, you may want to avoid eating and drinking sugar-laden beverages and foods, as well as sticky foods or anything that makes your teeth feel sensitive.
It’s also a good idea to come with a list of questions or concerns you may have about your oral health. This may include things like any discomfort you may be feeling in your mouth, teeth or gums, as well as any questions about other treatments you may be interested in – like professional teeth whitening, Invisalign or any others.
And finally, it’s a good rule of thumb to ensure how the procedures you are having are covered under insurance (unless you plan on paying out of pocket). This way, there are no surprises.
And finally, sit back and relax while your smile gets beautified!
