Plain and simple, even if you assume that what you’re doing is not a big deal, you can still end up hurting yourself on accident. Maybe you’re planning on using a tool of some kind to remove food stuck between your teeth that floss can’t dislodge. Maybe you’re going to whiten your smile with a home remedy. No matter what, you can end up with an injury to your oral health.
About that whitening remedy: Remember that when you try to practice your own dental care, in addition to possibly hurting yourself, you may be very disappointed with the results. With whitening as an example, you might see a slight change but nothing like the results you can achieve safely with professional care.
If you attempt your own dental care, you’ll pay for whatever products you initially buy. Then, you’ll pay for the cost of coming to us to fix the damage you accidentally created. Then, we will need to address the first concern that you meant to address with your own care. You’ll end up paying for three things instead of just one appropriate treatment.
While it may be tempting to attempt dental care on your own, remember that the most effective option is coming in for professional care. To learn more, schedule an appointment with your dentist by calling Allen & Neumann Family Dentistry in Pella, IA, today at (641) 628-1121.
