After I provide a dental service to a patient, I often hear the question, "Do I need to do anything else when I get home?" When compared to other medical fields, dentistry can usually fix a specific problem with a definitive treatment, and you won't have to do anything special when you get home.
Typically, patients will not have to wait longer than a week before they completely forget they had a dental procedure done. This is actually pretty remarkable since many other ailments such as muscle pain, diabetes, and high blood pressure require long-term treatments, medications, and time-consuming appointments. See? Visiting the dentist is not all that bad!
Even if you have not received any dental treatment, keeping your checkup/cleaning appointments is a must! Our mouths are a cesspool of bacteria that can cause tooth decay and gum disease. The two ways to stop the bacteria is regular professional cleanings and good home care, which includes both flossing and brushing.
