Another thing that our patients appreciate is our variable schedule. We know that you aren’t always able to take time off work or school to make a visit to the dentist, so we offer hours that are able to work with your needs, including Saturdays and extended hours on weekdays.
How to Enjoy Your Visits to the Dentist in 5 Easy Steps
Regular visits to the dentist are important for your oral health. Not only do regular dental visits make it possible for a dentist to catch an issue while it is small and easier to fix, but it also allows us to track any changes that might be concerning for your health. Here at the dental office of Kenneth R. Russell DDS, we understand that there are those who might feel hesitant about visits to the dentist, and we want to help you find the dentist more enjoyable. Here are a few things that can help:
- Choose a dentist you enjoy visiting. Finding a dentist that you feel comfortable with is the first thing you need to do. If you aren’t comfortable with your dentist, you will be more likely to avoid a dental visit!
- Keep up with regular oral care at home. That means brushing AND flossing at home! Have your dentist show you where your oral care might be lacking so you can work on those areas.
- Come prepared. Do you have questions? Concerns? Need to fill out paperwork? Come prepared with a list of questions and your paperwork completed for a less-stressful experience.
- Bring a comfort/distraction item. Yes, even adults can come in with a weighted blanket if that helps! Bring your favorite tunes, a calming meditation app, or whatever works best for you.
- Treat yo’ self. Make a visit to the dentist a treat. Take the rest of the day off, go get a manicure or a massage after your appointment, or buy yourself a new book! Whatever you enjoy, treat yourself to something after your dentist appointment.
