Article outlining how to avoid ill health and time off work because of dental care.
Working time lost through dental pain is well known. Having access to a
dentist near the workplace is vital to reduce time out.
It is important to have a dentist who will see emergency patients
within hours to allow them to return to work immediately feeling more
comfortable thus reducing time lost and increasing effectiveness and
concentration at work.
Alert staff are critical to safety and efficiency at work. Snoring and
sleep apnoea reduce effective sleep,
leading to tiredness and
sluggishness.
Specialist dentists can improve this antisocial and exhausting problem,
thereby increasing efficiency and effectiveness at work.
Headaches (particularly monthly headaches in women) are a common cause
of time lost at work. 70% of headaches are related to the jaw joint.
Specialist dentists often improve or even eliminate this problem, so
reducing time off and keeping staff healthier, happier and more
comfortable.
No one attends a dental appointment for fun – and some patients are
quite terrified of the prospect. There are dentists which specialise in
treating such patients and give them as much time as they need to be
comfortable with what they need to do!
In short it is essential that you find a dentist that can give you the
care and attention that you need to deal with the potential negative
effects that the conditions above can have on your life and career.
A dentist that can ensure you feel soothed, relaxed and in safe hands
to ensure that your personal and professional life remains as good as
it should be. Whether this be a private or NHS practice – a healthy
mouth, jaw and gums is attainable with regular treatment, a bit of
courage on the part of the patient and most importantly approachable
and welcoming dental staff to ensure it is as pleasant an experience as
possible!
