Have you ever gone to the dentist and walked out with a laundry list of treatment you need to have done?
Ever wondered if there’s a proper sequence to the treatment?
If you hired a contractor to build your house, you already know that you wouldn’t put up the walls before wiring the house.
You know it’s just not the right sequence.
Same is true for dentistry. The problem is, most people don’t know there’s actually a proper sequence to performing treatment. If the sequence of treatment is scrambled a new problem is often created, requiring a costly solution. Don’t ever assume that all dental treatment is created equal. It’s NOT! First of all the approach to treatment can be very different, depending on the training of the diagnosing Doc to see and address problems with an understanding of their impact on your overall condition. Secondly, he may not even be aware that a problem exists. Thirdly, he may see the problem and not know what to do about it or where to send you to get the treatment needed.
If you get a treatment program from your dentist, ask him or her to explain the rationale behind the sequence of the proposed treatment. If something doesn’t make sense to you, query it. You need to understand your treatment, WHY it is necessary and WHAT benefits you can expect to get from it
