QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD BE ASKING YOUR DENTIST – BUT AREN’T

A lot of us aren’t confrontational by nature. When it comes to a situation we don’t know, we have an accept or reject (it sounds much nicer than fight or flight, when put that way) mindset. We either take it as it is, or we reject it completely. We sometimes ask questions, but only with the greatest of trepidation. And when it comes to things like medical and dental health care, we sometimes ask the wrong ones.

“Will it hurt?” is a very popular question when you’re sitting in the dentist chair, along with “will this take long?” and “is this safe?” All valid questions, to be fair, but dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, and other dental health care professionals are qualified to answer questions beyond the physical procedure. If you’re paying for their services – and you are! – it’s time to start milking their expertise for all its worth. Here are some questions you should start asking your dentist.

1. What’s the expected payment plan?
There’s absolutely no need to be shy when it comes to talking about payment – particularly yours. Different offices have different payment schedules, accept different insurance providers, have different payment policies, and so on.

Before you sign on the dotted line, understand how and when you’ll be paying for the procedure. You do not want to be caught off-guard with lump sums, late fees, and other extra miscellaneous costs.

2. What can I expect during the procedure?
Even if it’s your standard check-up, you have a right to know what’s going on when they start poking and prodding around your mouth. If there are any x-rays, cleaning, teeth reduction (also called “shaving” or “filing”), topical anaesthesia, or whatever else, you need to know all this beforehand. If the dentist brings up your dental history, answer every question as accurately as you can. If they don’t, bring up your dental history yourself, and ask if anything in it will pose a possible problem during the process.

By asking this question, you’re also basically asking “will it hurt?” – or at least leaving the discussion open for it. If any part of the procedure sounds questionable or sounds like it may cause discomfort, make sure to pipe up with your concern. Dentists are neither sadists nor mind-readers; they don’t want to hurt you, but they won’t accomplish that without some input.

3. How are your instruments sterilized?
“Are the instruments sterilized?”is actually a popular question as well. I’m not saying it’s a wrong question, but you could word it this way and get a better answer. No self-respecting clinic is going tonot sterilize their instruments (and admit to it!) but the actual sterilization process is very telling. The proper way to go about sterilizing instruments and equipment is through heat sterilization. Anything else is questionable at best.

Listen for buzzwords like “autoclave” or “chemiclave” to really sweeten the deal. Dental centers that use these particular heat sterilization methods are pretty cutting-edge, as they’re the two leading methods recommended practically anywhere. This also means that your chosen dentist is up-to-date with all the latest procedures, tools, and equipment. That should make you feel a little better as you sit in the chair.
