Hello friends, I hope you are very well and welcome back. Today I will answer some frequently asked questions that I am asked in the office. These are many questions that patients have about dental health and treatments. I hope this article helps you all know more about dentist and what happens at work. This can help many patients to be calmer in their appointment and lose their fear of going to the dentist.
Before we begin, I want to remind you that we have tons of articles written on dental health. You are more than invited to read them and let us know in the comments what other topics you would like to read. Your opinions help a lot to grow this blog and learn about our patients. Without further ado, let’s start with the frequently asked questions. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Does it hurt to go to the dentist?
The short answer is no. Most of us dentists care about the well-being of our patients. We know that being safe and calm is important, and a painless mouth procedure is a priority. However, not all dental procedures can be performed without anesthesia. For those cases we will use local anesthesia so that the patient feels absolutely nothing.
This is very common in our work. There are many kinds of anesthesia, the one that is most used is the local one since the patient needs to be aware during the procedure. Fortunately, it doesn’t take long so the process is very quick. However, for more complex and long treatments a more powerful sedation is administered that puts the patient to sleep. A very clear example is that of dental implants.
This may sound difficult for many patients to swallow since in the United States there is a charge for anesthesia. In our clinic in Mexico, Dental Solutions Tijuana do not charge for local anesthesia. It is FREE for all dental procedures, so we invite you to come. For sedation we have IV available at a fairly cheap and affordable price. Next I will explain how to make an appointment at our clinic.

How many times should I brush my teeth?
This is a question that I am asked many times. It is incredible how many they do, and it is understandable since we all want beautiful teeth. I’ll start by saying how many times you shouldn’t brush, 1 or less. Brushing once a day is insufficient for good dental hygiene. The minimum that dentists recommend is 2 times a day. However 3 is the magic number for a healthy smile.
The correct way to brush is with a soft bristle toothbrush. Also, along with a gentle and careful technique, you will take care of your teeth. Avoid quick and aggressive movements as they can damage the enamel of your teeth. In addition, you can take the risk of cutting your gums as well. The same advice applies to flossing as well. By the way, flossing is also mandatory after brushing.
This is to get rid of food that gets stuck between your teeth. Leaving it there causes many dental diseases such as tooth decay and gingivitis. Next, rinsing your mouth with mouthwash will help kill any bacteria and germs left in your mouth. This routine will give you healthier teeth and fresh breath without a doubt.

Do I have to go to the dentist?
This question is also very common and yes, you must go to the dentist. Many patients postpone their visit to the dentist until they have a problem. It is a big mistake since many of these problems can be avoided in time if you visit your office periodically. One visit a year or every 6 months is enough for a check-up and cleaning. We know that it can mean a significant expense but in our clinic, as we mentioned before, you will save a lot of money.
So there are not many excuses to postpone your dental appointment. A dental cleaning, checkup and whitening can save the life of your teeth. Avoid being like those patients who go to the dentist when it is an emergency since preventive treatment costs less. The more complex the repair of your teeth, the more expensive the treatment. There are situations that cannot be avoided, but if saving money is a priority, go to the dentist before.
Connected to this issue is also the fear of dentists. Many patients avoid going to the dentist because they are terrified of it and have a hard time. By going to the dentist more often, you will gradually lose your fear and you will get used to it. Much of the fear comes from infrequency and ignorance of expectations. Anyway, if you are looking for dentists who are friendly and caring, don’t hesitate to contact us!
