Previously in dentistry it was a lot like going to a car mechanic. You were told you need item 1, item 2 and item 3. That was all in good but if you don’t have any experience or knowledge of cars it may seem like Greek to you. You trust and hope that the person helping you is honest and tells you only what you need. A lot of people have unfortunately had similar experiences in the dental chair. Even though our mouths and teeth are one of the most used parts of our body, most of us have very little knowledge on what is actually in that space in our bodies beyond lips, gums, tongue and teeth. We know that you want great smiles that last for a lifetime. By using a high-quality intraoral camera, I can now show you what is happening in your mouth, no more guessing or trusting, you can see it on a large screen tv. Your dentist can give you a tour of your mouth and provide the context, background and importance for the items that are proposed in your treatment plan. This gives you an incredible amount of power in managing your dental care and dental health. It also allows you to ask questions and get clarification when things don’t make sense. It may even help you prevent an oral surgery. After the appointment, if you have questions you can call the office. if something is just not making sense and Your dentist can explain what was seen in those images and reference them to help you be the driver in your dental care.
