Have you seen teeth in as bad a state as mine?+
Dental teams see many people who’ve been away for a long time or have put off care. You’re not expected to apologize. Your dentist’s interest is in where things stand now and what can help.
Are you going to lecture me about how I’ve looked after my teeth?+
A lecture isn’t what the visit is for. Your hygienist may offer specific home-care suggestions, but these are based on your mouth and routine and are intended to be practical.
My teeth are stained and I hate how they look. Can you help?+
A cleaning can address surface stain, though it can’t change everything. Tell your dentist what bothers you, and ask what could be behind it and which options may suit you.
I have missing teeth too. Is that going to be a problem?+
Not for coming in. Your team can check your remaining teeth and gums, and you can ask about replacing teeth if and when you’re interested in that discussion.
Do I have to take everything on at once?+
No. Ask what should be done first and what can be monitored. Recommendations can be discussed in stages so you can take in the information and make decisions gradually.
