FIRST
VISIT
The 1st visit is the most important, it addresses
the patients needs and queries and overcome the
barriers the patient has to dental treatment.
Also it is necessary for establishing the patient
dentist relationship. Many patients feel apprehensive
prior to visiting the dentist for many reasons
which are:
•
Fear of pain.
•
A bad previous dental experience.
•
Uncomfortable working in one's mouth.
•
Some people feel embarrassed.
•
Not sure if dentists can solve the problem.
• Afraid of criticism by the dentist.
At Bab-hani Clinic we do our best and try to provide
patients with the answers to their queries and
solutions to their dental problems in a professional
calm manner. Steps involved in the 1st visit are:
1.
Registering at the reception with our staff which
are highly qualified and have good experience
with dealing with patients. Unfortunately they
are not qualified to provide you with professional
dental advise. However their job is to greet you
and co-ordinate yourself with the dentist that
will best suit your needs. They to play an important
role as they are the link between the patient
& dentist.
2.
Chatting with the dentists, it is very important
that you talk to your dentist with regard to your
concerns so he could pin point the problem and
ensure that you are fit and it is safe to go ahead
with your dental treatment.
3.
Your dentist may need to examine, take x-rays,
or even do special tests (like: blood tests) to
fully understand your condition
4.
The dentist then is obliged to address the condition
you might have and provide with one or more solutions
which you may choose from. Remember the dentist
as any medical Doctor has no right to initiate
any treatment only after the patient has agreed
and knows the consequences of the treatment.
5.
Finally, your dentist should tell you of any
other problems you may have and then formulate
a treatment plan that will satisfy your needs.
The above are all necessary steps the dentist
takes to gear you towards a healthy mouth. Remember
this can only be achieved by establishing a friendly
relationship with your dentist. The Staff of Bab-hani
Clinic are well trained and there for you.
