(Image Source: http://bit.ly/2Apshec)

Many of us view our dental trip in Makati as a stressful experience, so we get it done and over with as quickly as possible. That’s why we fail to ask the right questions to our dentist, and by doing this, we unconsciously put our dental health at risk. So it’s high time we maximize our visit and get to know our dentist by asking essential questions about your oral health.

How is My Overall Dental Health?

You may ask your dentist to perform general check up to know the condition of your oral health. This includes checking your mouth for lumps, signs of teeth grinding, and other issues in your mouth. He can also check possible side effects of the medicine you’re taking since some drugs can cause dry mouth and increase the risk of getting cavities.

Aside from these, oral hygiene is also a good indicator of other possible health concerns in the body. Diabetes, osteoporosis, and vitamin deficiency are some issues that can be detected thru the findings on your overall dental health.

What Can the Dentist Do to Improve My Dental Health?

Your Makati dentist is also a doctor, and as such, know that you can tell him if you’re experiencing pain and discomfort in your mouth. This can help him provide solution to your oral health concerns. You may also ask for procedures that he can recommend to improve your dental health such as treatment for bad breath, whitening for yellowish teeth, or night guards for teeth grinding.

How Can I Practice Good Oral Hygiene at Home

Finally, knowing what you can do at home to improve your dental health is an essential question you should ask your dentist. Sure, there are general guidelines for brushing and flossing your teeth, but nothing beats a customized guideline fit only for your own dental needs. You can ask for first aids you can do, what food should you eat & avoid, and even his expert opinion on products you are being advertised—all these can be answered by your dentist. Knowledge is power, so don’t hesitate to ask the right questions the next time you visit your dentist in Makati.

Invisalign, the Best Dental Braces Alternative

Having braces was once a dream for me during my high school and college days. Though I am not bullied during my stay in school, I still find it awkward to flaunt my smile because of the under bite I am experiencing.   Well, it was embarrassing but upon graduation my agenda was to save for my braces but while I was asking numerous people using braces, there were indeed cons in using it like: having a slight discomfort or pain during the treatment, soreness of the tongue and mouth because of the dislocation of metal braces, and some being allergic to the materials used in making braces. To cut this story short, I just inquired for braces but what I was planning to get instead is the invisalign. I found someone on youtube that shares the same sentiment. Better watch this video to know needed details about the invisalign: (For invisalign products, visit: https://dentalworld.com.ph )

I Badly Want My Wisdom Tooth Removed! What Should I do?

It has been months now since I complained about my wisdom tooth on both sides of my upper jaw. It has been a hassle ever since because not only it feels awkward because both of it are pointing outwards touching the skin behind my cheeks while one of them, the one on the upper left side is decayed where in three-fourths of it was already covered in black. Right now, I am really anxious to remove it but because of financial constraints, I am really trying to find the cheapest way possible to extract these. I’m very sure that after extraction, I’ll be able to feel more comfortable with my set of teeth again but how should I do it? Should I remove it all at once or should I remove it one by one? I had my lower wisdom teeth on the lower jaw removed one after the other. Now, I am thinking to remove it all at once to feel the pain in one sitting only? Is it advisable? I watched this video to help me make up my mind. Now, is it worth it?  After watching that video, I was r...
