You would like to start regular dental visitations – how to avoid tooth ache?
Get several opinions!
Today it is impossible to overview the whole spectrum of dentistry individually. Depending on their personal knowledge dentists mostly suggest only one therapy option consciously or unconsciously. You are in better hands with a group practice-but be careful. Is it a community of physicians, who only obey regulations from the boss!? Just ask for the specialized subjects!

The dental visit always begins with the fundamentals!
Severe tooth ache should be eliminated in advance before starting at the fundament! First of all almost every patient gets a cheap treatment-cavity removal, root canal re-treatment, gum prophylaxis. All the necessary information should be collected; health history, previous dental care, recording all the previous dental work, findings from examination, full assessment. Health history is important in providing a good care. Good oral health goes hand by hand with good overall health!
Only then implants, crowns or bridge placements should follow.
Pay attention to the explanations!
In medicine everything is easy to explain, coherences have to be logical-even for non experts. Don´t let yourself be mislead by terms such as homoeopathy or mild medicine. If you don’t understand something, please ask….

Price listings on different dental procedures!
Most of the time dental visits are costly; make sure you are presented with a treatment plan after your initial comprehensive exam, including all the cost. If you need extensive care or full mouth rehab you should insist on staging the treatment. It is also important to check with your insurance company for explanation of benefits so you don’t get a surprise hefty bill.
