I agree! A lot of patients say that! It also feels safer knowing your tongue and gums are protected.

Dr. Nejad - For longer procedures such as multiple veneers, how do you keep the patient comfortable? I find my jaw was really sore after 1.5 hours, possibly I was nervous and over extending my jaw. I have veneer removal 8 top 6 bottom so very long procedures with the rubber dam upcoming and would greatly appreciate your advice. Maybe I can ask for a 10 minute break in the middle or would this be tricky, are there devices that can help or what do you recommend?

Hi Chiara. There are options including sedation, but most of the time we can manage the treatment effectively without any modification. You will have to express this to your dentist and let them manage the plan because there are a lot of factors to consider regarding breaks that will vary based on the cementation order/strategy.

@@BiomimeticDentistry Thanks for your response I will speak with my dentist and hopefully there will be a chance for short breaks. Fingers crossed it all goes well.

What if a dentist seems like he's not going to be doing a dam?
