At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we want our patients to have successful dental treatments. When we recommend a dental treatment, we stress the importance of scheduling your treatment in a timely manner to help prevent decay from progressing further. When you arrive for treatment, we will explain what to expect during treatment and will give specific recovery directions. Procedures such as dental fillings will not have as detailed instructions as patients who are receiving dental implants or a root canal. No matter if you are visiting us for a filling or an implant, it is important to follow our after treatment directions.
