HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR UPCOMING DENTAL VISIT

It’s important for you to be clear of your expectations of your dental visit. Be precise and clear of what you require and voice any concerns or questions you may have. It is very important for you to be comfortable and to be clearly informed what treatment will be done and the cost thereof. The more precise you are in your expectations the better they can be met. If you are concerned about proposed treatment, please inform your dentist and ask for clarity and explanation. You should receive a treatment costing or a verbal costing before treatment is done.

If possible please brush your teeth before an appointment. By flossing only prior to your dental appointment will not mask bad oral hygiene! Implement an effective oral hygiene regime at home in order to make cleaning appointments less sensitive and more pleasant – the cleaner your teeth are, the less sensitive they will be as there will be fewer and thinner tartar deposits on your teeth.

At a cleaning appointment, Dr Helena or Dr Carina will help you to improve your oral hygiene regime or provide tips to complement your current regime. The type of tooth brush and floss you use is important and the product and the use thereof will be discussed at your appointment.
