It is probably true of most people in Leeds that they see a dentist as a person that probes around in the mouth, makes you flinch occasionally and then inflicts pain on you when things have gone wrong, in order to repair you. There is an element of truth in that, though it is a little harsh really. In reality, a dentist is there to ensure that your teeth and gums are free from decay and disease and will treat you accordingly should you be showing any of these signs. You will be thoroughly cleaned around the teeth and below the gum-line in places you can’t get to, and this will ensure that it backs-up all of what you do at home. But your mouth is a gateway to the rest of your body and if things go wrong here, it can affect the whole of your body. The modern dentist is fully aware of this and can advise just how bad things can get if you don’t care for yourself. They are fully versed on topics such as diet, fitness, lifestyle and phobias you may have about your visits. They can help you to give up smoking and help see that your bad habits don’t get the better of your teeth and body. In essence, you should talk to your dentist about all ranges of topics because its not just about the teeth anymore with dentists, it’s about you as well…and if you just need a cuddle, you may just get one of those as well!
