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.
