Harris Family Dental Practice

Why I should not have this done..

 

When you come into the practice you generally have an idea of the treatment you would like and are already fully aware of the benefits the treatment will give you. Howerver, many people are not aware of the drawbacks and downsides when it comes to the different treatments that can be given by the dentist/hygienist.

We would recommend you have your teeth cleaned if you have hard deposits or stain stuck on your teeth or roots.

After this treatment you should expect your teeth to be sensitive and your gums to be sore.

You will be given the choice, if you choose not to have your teeth cleaned any associated disease could get worse.

We would recommend you have a tooth removed when it is too damaged to restore with a filling or crown.

After this treatment you should expect pain and swelling and A GAP IN YOUR JAW.  If you follow the post operative instructions you will limit the pain.

You will be given a choice, if you choose not to have the tooth out you could experience increased pain or risk a serious infection.  On rare occasions serious dental infection can be life threatening and lead to hospitalisation.
