Patients are slowly becoming aware that their mouth matters. Yes, they know teeth are important and that brushing and flossing are necessary. They may even assume their mouth is connected to some health problems. But what else can you tell them about why their teeth matter more than they think? Here are seven things to tell patients to remind them just how much their oral health matters. People judge our intelligence, cleanliness, socioeconomic level, and other attributes by our smiles. Whether it’s right or wrong, “not having a nice smile can cost us more than embarrassment, it can also cost us money or love, and that is a cost to our self-esteem and mental health,”. A lot of patients are motivated by wanting the best possible smile-and it’s okay to remind them that’s what you’re there for. Another thing patients take for granted until they have a problem is eating. Having a full set of teeth that are free of pain matters because digestion begins with chewing in the mouth. There’s nothing worse than not being able to chew on your back teeth because of pain, drinking a cold drink because of sensitivity, or having to avoid your favourite crunchy food because of missing teeth.
