When your dentist recommends an oral surgery procedure you may find yourself having a lot of questions. Of course, chief among these are your concerns about why you need it and what you should expect before, during, and after the procedure. What to Ask About Your Next Dental ProcedureOne of the first questions that will probably cross your mind is why you need the procedure. After your dentist explains this you'll want to know exactly what's going to happen during the procedure.As he explains this to you, he should also explain his overall treatment plan to you. If there are any options available to you along the way, he should also point those out to you as well. Additionally, make sure that you don't overlook the possibility that the procedure may be painful. In this case, you'll want to know how your dentist will treat the pain for you. It's important to also mention if you're allergic to any medications. You don't want to accidentally make things worse for yourself by taking a prescribed medication that could cause an allergic reaction. As you ask all these questions, make sure your dentist explains their answers to you in terms that you're able to understand. Ultimately, your goal should be to leave your dentist's office feeling empowered. This will only happen if you don't become more confused. For this reason, you'll want to take time to talk to your dentist without feeling rushed. You'll need plenty of time to discuss and come to an understanding of the impending procedure. These are all things you can ask us about. We want to make sure that you're knowledgeable about what's going on. After all, it's your body. Furthermore, we understand that you'll be much more comfortable with the procedure if you understand what's going on. |
