3. Ask Questions Asking questions is an essential step during treatment. Your dentist is eager to discuss procedures with you if you are ready to enquire. They will be keen to use layman language that you can easily understand. Don’t shy away from asking what the scalpel-shaped tool is and what it does. After an examination, enquire about the state of your oral health. Once the X-rays come in, look at them together with the dentist and ask what they mean. Asking questions makes you knowledgeable about the treatment process. Once you know what is happening, you will be less anxious and nervous about the procedure, and this changes your perception of the denture clinic. Also, the next time you experience a similar problem, you will know what to expect when you visit the dentist.
