Introduction to Dental Treatments

Are you looking to find out about dental treatments? Perhaps a dentist has recommended a treatment to you and you would like to find out more about it. Or a friend or family member has mentioned something in conversation or had a treatment that you would like to consider.

Whatever the reason, the treatment information in this section is essential reading. It will help you understand:

• Exactly what the treatment is
• Why you may need the treatment
• If you may be suitable for the treatment
• The treatment procedure
• Any risks or potential complications
• What happens afterwards
• How much it costs
• If there are any alternatives.

and the best bit is… we let you inside the dentist’s head:

• What tests will they do and why
• What they are looking for
• How they assess your particular situation
• What the language they use means.

And much more!

All this information gives you the knowledge to make an informed decision about your dental care.

No-longer will you being in the dark about treatment, leaving the dental surgery not really knowing what you had done, only that you can’t feel your face and it cost you several hundred bucks. And so there are no surprises, we hope people will share their patient experiences so you can get an idea of what it’s like to actually have that treatment and what it feels like afterwards.

I have put together detailed answers for all the questions other patients (just like you) have asked us about that treatment. If you have a question we haven’t answered, please just ask us! I’m sure you won’t be the first or the last to have had that thought and by asking us we can continue to provide the best and most comprehensive dental patient resource on the Internet.

We aren’t like other sites, this site is all about you we talk in your language and help you to understand ‘dentist speak’ so when you are in the dentist you know what is going on.
