I’ve been busy for a year, leaving early and returning late every day, working hard to give my family a better life, as we all do. In this year, we have encountered all kinds of patients, some have become friends, some are just passing by. However, the biggest feeling is that people’s awareness of oral health care is much higher than before, more attention to their dental health, so I think the dentist’s job is beginning to be recognized by the public, rather than the previous years people’s eyes “veneer maker” (my high school classmates used to think so). Today I am a dentist’s identity, to do this year’s summary, examples of some of the common phenomenon of dental care, to give professional advice, and hope that in the future, the consultation process, we can be more pleasant between doctors and patients, more tacit understanding! Some dental patients do not follow up on time after the acute symptoms of toothache are relieved, and then come back when they are in pain again, which often delays the condition. Some doctors arrange the appointment time untimely and come in a hurry, which causes a lot of trouble to the doctor’s work. Advice: Always follow the appointment time given by your doctor. If you have an emergency, you should also give the doctor a call in advance to see if you can choose another time, so as to respect the doctor and also for your own convenience. Phenomenon 2 Toothache before coming to the dentist When I went to the clinic, I saw that many patients came with their faces covered, and after examination, it was found that most of the teeth were badly damaged, usually requiring root canal treatment and braces, and those that could not be saved could only be extracted. In fact, dental disease is completely preventable, and good oral hygiene is the king. In addition, the development of dental disease is a slow, cumulative process, so we advocate early detection, early treatment, do not think that the tooth does not hurt, so do not need to go to the hospital for examination. Suggestions: do oral examination once every six months to a year, clean your teeth regularly, change your toothbrush and toothpaste regularly, and develop the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening. This stereotype is very wrong, because the good or bad of children’s milk teeth directly affect their jaw bone development, the intake of nutrition of the whole body and the development of permanent teeth in the future. Clinically, periapical periodontitis caused by decay of children’s milk teeth is the most common, and the inflammation has spread to the permanent tooth embryo. Suggestions: When small black dots appear on children’s milk teeth, parents should pay attention to them, which may be the beginning of dental caries, and consult the children in time. In addition, parents should supervise and cultivate their children’s daily oral cleaning work. Some patients usually don’t pay attention to protect their teeth, and when dental disease occurs, they don’t want to treat their teeth, and then they come to the clinic and want to pull them out, and when the doctor doesn’t pull them out, they make a big fuss, saying that the doctor is not responsible, they think their own teeth are my own decision, and the doctor wants to treat them because he wants to charge more money, and the doctor can’t say anything. In fact, the possible reasons for the doctor not to pull your tooth are: 1. Advice: Please listen to your dentist. After all, the dentist is the expert when it comes to the oral cavity. Try to protect your own teeth, you should know that once the teeth are extracted, you need to set the restoration, and the restoration of dentures is not as good as your own real teeth. 05 Filling materials fall off is the doctor’s fault Many patients who have had their fillings fall off and then come to the doctor often complain about the poor standard of the doctor who can not make the fillings of the filled teeth remain forever. Whether the filling material falls off or not depends on many factors, the most important one is the size of your tooth cavity. When a large cavity develops, it is difficult to guarantee that the filling material will not fall off even with the best doctor and the best filling material. In fact, the dentist can only help you so much, the best way is to treat it as early as possible and fill the cavity when it is very small, then it will be very firm! Phenomenon 6: Unwilling to treat the roots of teeth and always ask for extraction Many patients ask for extraction as long as the roots are indiscriminate, which is wrong. With the development of dental technology, many roots can be completely preserved after perfect treatment, on the one hand, to prevent the resorption of the alveolar bone, on the other hand, and then connect a crown on it, can fully function normally. Suggestion: Roots are not useless and should be preserved if possible. Phenomenon 7: reluctance to take dental films There are various misconceptions such as radiation, waste of time, and money-making tactics of dentists. In fact, the purpose of dental radiographs is to understand the root, pulp, periodontal, alveolar bone, etc., which is very helpful for the doctor’s judgment and diagnosis, so it is very necessary for certain cases (such as: trauma, obstructed teeth, etc.), and is one of the most common diagnostic tools in dentistry. Suggestion: Trust your doctor, taking dental films can only benefit you and is the most original information you can keep, please make sure you keep it. Moreover, the radiation of dental films is very small and almost harmless to human body. Phenomenon 8 Scaling tends to destroy the surface enamel of teeth Some patients worry that scaling will destroy the enamel on the surface of teeth, so they are reluctant to scaling regularly. In fact, dental cleaning with imported ultrasonic machine, its principle is ultrasonic vibration, not abrasion, as long as the correct operation, the appropriate technique will not cause damage to the teeth. Suggestions: every six months on the regular dental hospital cleaning once to prevent gingivitis or periodontitis, benefit for life! Some patients are very reluctant to have their teeth extracted because of the need for treatment, they are worried about the impact of tooth extraction on the brain, in fact, this concern is very unnecessary, teeth grow in the alveolar bone, and the brain is very far away, tooth extraction has no impact on the brain. In addition, dental anesthesia can affect intelligence is just a legend. It is important to know that anesthesia is metabolized in the body in about 2 hours, and the amount we use for dental treatment and tooth extraction is very small, which only plays a local anesthetic effect and is not harmful. Suggestions: dentists own wisdom teeth are chosen to pull, and anesthesia can solve the pain, why not do it? It is better to know more about oral science! Phenomenon ten oldest doctor treatment level is high daily work contact with many patients, they are willing to see the oldest doctor rather than let the young doctor see, here I have to defend, in fact, the treatment of oral diseases mainly rely on hand skills and eyes, young doctors good eyes, and contact with the professional theory are the most advanced knowledge, which is the advantage of young doctors, each doctor has his young time, their Experience is accumulated little by little, as the oldest doctor, if you can not update their professional knowledge in a timely manner and just eat the old, the technical level may not be as good as the young doctors. Suggestion: Give young doctors more opportunities, maybe you will find something new. Phenomenon 11: The most expensive is the best Some patients conclude through daily experience that the most expensive is the best, but this truth does not fully apply in dental treatment. Both filling materials and veneer materials and methods have their own advantages and disadvantages and cannot be generalized. For example, silver amalgam fillings are cheap and have a relatively long retention time, but the disadvantage is that the color is not good; the color of all-ceramic teeth is very good, but it is not as durable as metal crowns and is also very expensive. Suggestion: It is better to ask the doctor to decide according to the specific situation of your teeth and your economic strength, without the pursuit of expensive. Some patients do not care about their dental disease and think that tooth extraction is a trivial matter. Some of them think that tooth extraction is a trivial matter, but they can’t stand the toothache and ask the doctor to extract it, and they ask the doctor to extract it even if their blood pressure is over 200. Suggestion: Tooth extraction requires strict compliance with the indications and should depend on the patient’s physical condition. For some chronic diseases, tooth extraction should be suspended and treatment should be carried out only after the condition is controlled and stabilized to avoid unexpected situations. Phenomenon thirteen require the dentist to reduce the cost Some individual dental patients have a habit of bargaining with the doctor as if they were doing business, not knowing that all dental clinics charge with reference to the price bureau standards. In addition, often admitted to some patients from the small clinics, a look at the irregular treatment of dental misery, so that people are very headache. Suggestion: Don’t take the fee as a measure of the doctor’s good or bad, and don’t let it interfere with your dentist’s treatment. In addition, do not covet the attractive advertising information of some small shady clinics, you still have to go to a big hospital for dental treatment. After all this, I hope you can realize the importance of teeth, and in the new year, let’s enjoy our food and smile! Good teeth, good appetite, good health!
