About The Video
Dr Jo Ann Wong walks through the phrases she hears most often from patients, starting with "I want veneers because I don't like my smile." She explains why figuring out exactly what a patient doesn't like about their smile matters before jumping into treatment.
She then addresses the phrase "It doesn't hurt, so it should be fine, right?" in relation to a chipped tooth, explaining that pain isn't always the first sign something is wrong, and that a small chip can sometimes indicate a bigger issue underneath.
Dr Jo Ann also responds to the question "Is this going to hurt?", walking through how local anaesthetics and numbing gel are used, and how patients can pause or take breaks at any point during treatment.
She closes by addressing tooth sensitivity to sweet foods, noting the range of possible causes and the importance of getting it checked early.
Dr Jo Ann Wong breaks down some common phrases patients bring up during a dental visit, offering context on what's often behind each one. Rather than assuming a symptom is minor just because it doesn't hurt, she explains why certain signs, like a chip or sensitivity, are worth having looked at sooner rather than later.
The video covers questions patients regularly raise about veneers, chipped teeth, treatment comfort, and sensitivity. If any of these sound familiar, reach out to the team at Dental Designs Clinic in Singapore to book an assessment.
