Things That Really Shouldn’t Embarrass You (But Might Anyway)

Posted by

We know that one of the emotions that may really get to you when what you need is it talk with us … is embarrassment. You might not even be that shy of an individual! However, there’s just something about your dental care that may cause you to clam up when you could really use more information, help, a particular treatment, etc. Since our Cleveland, TX team completely understands this after years of practicing dentistry, we have just one request: Please do your best to feel comfortable asking for anything you need!

Getting Something Stuck Between Teeth Or Within Gums

What’s worse than getting food lodged between your teeth or beneath your gumline? Trying to ignore it for several days and then having to call us to admit you’re in a lot of discomfort! Remember that the emergency dental care we offer is for all urgent needs, including when you are faced with a dental care detail you simply cannot tackle on your own.

Realizing You Have An Extremely Basic Question

Perhaps while you’re visiting us for a dental checkup and cleaning, you really want to ask us about how to brush in a way that’s more successful. Maybe you aren’t sure what type of dental floss to purchase. When we ask if you floss, maybe you want to ask us if you’re doing it correctly, how often, or when you should do it! Whatever it is, remember: It is perfectly okay and also very important that you ask us! Otherwise, you’ll be missing key oral health information that you require for your smile.

Admitting You Don’t Really Know What A Particular Treatment Is

Maybe we have already seen you and discussed a particular treatment. Maybe we’ve talked about it more than once! Now, you really feel embarrassed for not having spoken up before to admit that you don’t know the first thing about it (or that our introductory explanation left you wanting additional details). Don’t be embarrassed. We know that you may find it a little hard to jump in and ask your dental care questions sometimes, especially as you’re processing new information! Let us know when you feel ready.

We Invite You To Feel At Ease During Visits!
