Are you ready for a visit to the dentist`s?

Dentists advice not to ignore the rules which guarantee a most comfortable visit to the doctor. You should not drink alcohol before. If you have already planned some jolly party, remember that alcohol remains in blood for as long as 4 days. During this period the efficiency of painkillers is low, so if you do not neglect this rule your visit to the dentist's will be no more painful than going to the hairdresser's. Concerning anesthesia, some methods require anesthetizing a part of the tongue and the cheek. After going to the dentist's do not plan any kind of lecturing or taking business phone calls - at best you will not be good at it, at worst you'll have to go back to the doctor to treat your bitten cheek. This is also true for eating, though it is bly recommended to eat before going to the dentist's to prevent dizziness after anesthesia.

Also before the visit do not forget about elementary hygienic procedures: brush your teeth, use a floss and a mouthwash.

You should cancel your visit if you have acute viral or bacterial infections in your throat and respiratory tract - tonsillitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis, even if your temperature is normal. We also recommend to postpone your visit if you have a stuffed nose, however good you feel. When you breath with your mouth, you do not get enough oxygen which makes you more nervous and sensitive to pain and also creates too much moisture in your mouth which can badly influence the quality of filling.

Contraindications include herpetic stomatitis which manifests itself in eruptions on the mucous surface of the mouth and lips.

Women are recommended to cancel their visit to the dentist's during the periods because those days their bodies undergo great physical and emotional changes which affects the blood properties causing bleeding even after small cuts and increases the level of sensitivity. During this time the risk of complications is higher and the process of treatment will not be so comfortable.

Going to the dentist is stressful. You are aware of the chronic diseases you suffer from - diabetes, hypertension, asthma - and you know better what helps you when it shoots. Anyway if this happens during your visit to the dentist's the doctor there naturally has a first aid kit and will help you deal with it but it is also your responsibility not to forget the specific medicines you normally take in such situations. If all this is not about you, then just take a pack of tissues or a clean handkerchief.

At the dentist's

If this is your first time with the particular doctor, then they will ask you a set of questions to fill in your case. It's better to think through your answers beforehand and come prepared. When they ask you about the illnesses you've had you should tell them not just about the chronic ones like diabetes or asthma but also about your general condition. This information will help the dentist choose the best anesthetic. Another question you will certainly be asked is about being allergic to medicines.

When you answer make sure you tell the doctor about the medicines you are taking at the moment. It may also help them pick those preparations for you which will not cause any adverse reaction.

Let us now move on to the questions you might want to ask your doctor: what's the best toothpaste to choose, what to do to keep your teeth healthy, what food to eat? These and other questions are better to ask after having been treated because the dentist will know the condition of your teeth by that time already and will be able to provide you with the recommendations concerning not just how rough the bristles on your toothbrush should be or about the factors to take into account when choosing a toothpaste but also consult you on the matters of nutrition and even lifestyle.
