How long has it been since your last visit to the dentist? The American Dental Hygienists’ Association recommends “Regular professional visits, every six months or as scheduled by your dental hygienist.” For some people, the time since a dental visit is considerably more than six months.
Whatever the reason for your absence, we want you to come back. Here are five things you should know if you haven’t been to the dentist in a while.
1. We’ll make you comfortable
We want your visit to Moore Family Dental to be pleasant. With each patient’s comfort in mind, we have created an environment that is designed to put you at ease. Our staff members are kind and welcoming and you can listen to your favorite music or watch TV while we take care of your teeth. Sounds good, right?
2. You’re not in trouble
Sometimes, when people haven’t gone to the dentist in a long time, they hesitate to make an appointment because they believe the dentist or hygienist will chastise them for their long absence. We won’t do that so please don’t let it keep you away any longer. We just want to work with you to maximize your oral health so we’ll welcome you without any lectures.
3. Technology has come a long way
We keep up with the latest technological innovations and when something can improve patient care or make patients more comfortable, we implement it at Moore Family Dental. Let’s consider anesthesia. Although it makes dental procedures infinitely more comfortable, many patients dislike the needle that is traditionally used to administer it. That’s where the CompuDent wand comes in. It’s a pain-free way to anesthetize the area; no more needle! If you want to learn more, read here.
