People have faster check-ups when they have good oral health.
People who keep their teeth in good condition have faster check-ups with the dentist and suffer from less stress as a result, it has been claimed.
Dr David Mady Jr told the Windsor Star that it is important to keep up a regular oral health routine and while this will ensure a person’s teeth are in the best condition, it will also enable them to spend less time in the dentist’s chair when they come in for a check-up.
Dr Mady Jr noted: “Remember that no matter what is done for you when you come to the dentist, the most important thing is how you are with your dental home care.”
Elsewhere, the Manila Bulletin recently reported patients are being urged to “rest and relax” at the dentist’s office rather than to feel nervous.
The publication claimed times are changing and people now expect more out of a visit to their dentist than just the medical expertise on offer – they want to be made to feel comfortable and relaxed.
