While receiving the necessary dental care is important for a patient, we also understand the importance of being comfortable during treatment. People may base all dentists on one negative visit in the past and avoid the necessary treatment. Avoiding regular checkups will only increase the risk of dental infection and other oral health issues developing. Fortunately, we take the time to truly care for our patients and provide a comfortable environment.
Part of the reason why so many people avoid going to the dentist is that they are simply not comfortable. Some people are afraid of the sound of the dental drill, while others are afraid the appointment will be extremely painful. In reality, pop culture places an image of dental visits being painful when they are actually the opposite. While patients may feel some pressure or a slight pain during the treatment, patients will feel far greater pain when an infection spreads due to lack of dental checkups.
The best solution for those who avoid going to the dentist, for any reason, is to find a dentist who truly cares. As a caring dentist, we provide quality chairside manner, which can help to make an appointment more comfortable. We will take the time to listen to the patient's concerns and address them. We will help the patient receive the necessary treatment for a healthy mouth and a positive dental experience.
The following are some factors to look for when needing a dentist who has the ability to make their patients completely comfortable, no matter what type of dental procedure. During a dental checkup and in preparing for a dental checkup, we will:
We will take the time to talk with our patients before the procedure. We will ask how the patient is doing, how they have been and if they have any questions about today's checkup. This face-to-face interaction is essential to building a good relationship between us and the patient. Any concerns a patient may have should be taken seriously, which involves the dentist paying close attention to these concerns.
We will explain any dental procedures in detail so the patient is not confused. Most people do not understand dentist-related technical terms, so we will take the time to explain something to a patient in an easy to understand manner. We do not want any patient to go into treatment with fears or confusion and will do what we can to help.
The last thing patients want when visiting their dentist is to feel like they do not matter. While we see numerous patients each day, we devote the same level of care and focus on each patient. We will ensure that each patient is comfortable with the treatment. A dentist who cares will make their patient feel special by looking them in the eye when talking with them. A little small talk goes a long way and can help build the trust patients need when looking for a caring dentist.
