Dental Implants & Dentures Next Denture Clinic Visit | Page 14

7. Ask for Advice After receiving treatment, many people will just walk out of the denture clinic and wait for the next appointment yet they know little about oral health care. Limit your visits to the dentist by asking for professional oral health advice before leaving the clinic. Did you come in for cleanings to eliminate tartar and plaque? Ask the dentist to give you tips for preventing the build-up of plaque in the future. Don’t know the best toothpaste or mouthwash in the market? Your dentist will be happy to recommend a few options. Do you need to know if the DIY teeth whitening solutions are helpful? Ask the expert, and they will give you a professional opinion. Have you gotten new dental appliances such as dentures, implants, or braces? Ask about how to care for them. Professional advice on oral health care can help you to save money on denture treatments. Always ask what you can do to prevent the problem you had in the future. Even seemingly silly questions such as “how should one floss their teeth” can help you avoid some of the common dental health problems that people battle with today.
