WE SAY
There’s no point painting the walls if the plaster is falling off
For example, if you kept breaking your teeth, a Complete Care dentist would spend time finding out why. Perhaps you grind your teeth in the night or maybe your diet is high in acidic foods that are causing wear. Whatever the reason, we would treat this issue first, before ploughing in to replace the tooth, only for exactly the same thing to happen a few months down the line.
Dentists are trained to use the WIDIOM rule that means “would I do it on me?”. This concept requires careful examination and treatment planning designed to help patients understand every problem so priorities of treatment can be put into proper perspective.
There is always a cheap, quick fix available. You can buy cheap trainers but would you want to run a marathon in them?
