Introduction
What happens during a typical visit at the denture clinic? What do you do when you have
an appointment scheduled with your dentist?
Research shows that at least 60% of adults aged between 18 and 64 visited the dentist in
2016. While a good percentage of people see their dentist for regular dental care and
treatment, not many take the time to prepare for these visits. Many denture patients cannot
describe what happens during a visit to the clinic. They merely sit on the chair or lie on the
dentist’s bed and zone off as the dentist works.
The kind of approach that people have towards the denture clinic is what causes them
stress and anxiety whenever they have an appointment. Listening to strange noises and
watching strange appliances poke at your teeth is undoubtedly stressful. The experience
can cause you to forego treatment and expose yourself to poor oral health.
Understanding what goes on during your usual visit at the denture clinic can help relieve
stress and anxiety. What’s more, it also enables you to make the most out of the
appointment. After all, you have paid for the procedure, and it is only fair that you get the
best value from it.
