A Good Dentist Needs to be Awed
Dentist Li has been practicing medicine for decades, but there are many experiences, among them, a good dentist always has one characteristic: always keep the patient’s primary teeth as much as possible with the concept of “conservative treatment and retention of primary teeth”, so as to prolong the life of teeth to the maximum extent.
Adhere to conservative treatment, try to retain the patient’s original teeth, so that the original teeth can be used for the longest life. Because of the retention of primary teeth, it has a huge effect on patients’ life in the future, such as making dentures, preventing the bone atrophy of the tooth bed and so on.
In fact, it’s a difficult challenge for doctors to try to keep the original teeth as much as possible in clinical practice, because it’s not only risky and time-consuming to save the teeth that others think must be pulled out, but also the patients sometimes don’t understand.
There are many dentists, many of them graduated from famous schools and have good skills. But only the title of famous school and good technology are not enough for a good dentist. “It is a necessary quality for a good dentist to keep a reverence for patients. It’s a terrible thing to be fearless. ” Dentist Li once listened to a senior stomatologist.
When looking at teeth for patients, the first consideration is whether it is conducive to the long-term life of patients. How significant is it to keep this tooth and let it last for several years for patients’ future life? What inconveniences and opportunities will he bring to pull out this tooth? Therefore, good dentists always treat patients with awe.
Two stage dental care
It is the basis and the best way to keep the original teeth to insist on the daily care of the teeth. A good dentist’s treatment of patients is not limited to the clinic. When patients go out of the clinic, the doctor’s treatment continues. He will divide dental protection into two stages: dental clinic treatment and family treatment.
What doctors can do directly is to treat in the clinic, while the daily maintenance of teeth depends on the patient to do well in daily life. The maintenance outside the clinic is more significant to ensure the health of teeth, just as education needs the cooperation of schools and parents.
Taking tooth decay as an example, the high-risk period of dental caries is divided into the following stages: children in adolescence don’t know how to protect their teeth, plus their restless psychology in adolescence, they don’t care about their own teeth; in high school, they have a lot of pressure to study, are nervous, and don’t care about their teeth; in college, they are busy with their studies, look for jobs, and are far away from the supervision of their parents, until they graduate from college It is found that one’s teeth are riddled with holes; the last stage is the old age stage, which is also a dangerous stage. The old people are not in good health and the flexibility of their hands is reduced, which is easy to cause tooth decay.
So qualified dentists will never tire of explaining the daily maintenance of teeth to every patient. Daily maintenance is an important part of the whole treatment and the second step of the treatment. Because clinic treatment and family treatment are equally important, some patients can use the extracted teeth for many years, which brings great benefits to patients’ lives, that is, the result of both treatment.
