The Family Appointment: Treating Several People in One Day
Fitting it into one day is possible; what matters is the order the procedures are placed in.
How the order is decided
Planning follows the procedures rather than the people. Long treatments needing anaesthetic form the backbone of the day, with examinations, check-ups and scaling slotted between them so one person's appointment does not fall inside another's waiting time. Children are seen early, since cooperation falls as tiredness rises, and the same applies to anxious adults.
Preparing for a family appointment
- Bring a list of everyone's current medications
- Tell us in advance if anyone takes blood thinners
- Bring any previous radiographs and treatment records
- Plan for a parent or legal guardian to accompany a child
- Eat a light meal beforehand if anaesthetic is planned
- Say who is coming with which complaint when booking
- Allow for the journey home after procedures needing aftercare
How many procedures can one person have in a day
It depends on the procedure and which part of the mouth is involved. Several fillings in the same quadrant usually fit one appointment under a single anaesthetic, while work spread across the mouth is better split. Surgery in two areas on the same day is generally avoided so that eating and healing stay manageable. Examinations, radiographs, scaling and small fillings fit comfortably together.
Getting Here, Booking and Emergencies from Unsal
Route, booking and emergency arrangements for patients from Unsal.
Getting here from Unsal
Ünsal lies in the Kepez district of Antalya; Kepez is one of the central districts, about 6 kilometres from the clinic. We also see patients from neighbouring areas that share the route from Unsal, such as Odabaşı, Ulus, Yeni Emek, Aktoprak. You can ask for the location on WhatsApp when travelling from Unsal.
Appointments for Unsal
At this distance, splitting treatment into visits is no problem for patients from Ünsal, and attending reviews is easy too. As with patients from Kepez generally, appointments for families from Unsal can be scheduled consecutively.
Emergencies from Unsal
Setting out from Ünsal at night is quick; come without delay in an emergency, and calling as you leave means preparation is done in advance. For patients coming from Dental Clinic in Unsal, the clinic is open 24/7 and in an emergency the order is set by severity rather than arrival time. For spreading facial swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or toothache with fever, go to the nearest emergency department.
White Spots Revealed When Braces Come Off
This is the most common disappointment at the end of orthodontic treatment: the teeth are straight but chalky white marks remain around where the brackets were. These are the result of cleaning during treatment, not of the treatment itself.
Why the marks form
The area around a bracket is hard for a brush to reach and plaque accumulates there. Acid produced by bacteria draws minerals out of the enamel; because the surface has not yet collapsed no cavity forms, but translucency is lost and the area looks chalky white. It is the beginning of decay — and the mark remains even once it has been arrested.
Prevention during treatment
Because the marks cannot be fully removed once formed, the real work is during treatment:
- Brushing after every meal — twice a day is not enough in this period
- A single-tufted brush for around the brackets
- An interdental brush for under the wires
- A daily fluoride rinse
- Reducing the frequency of sugary drinks and snacks
What is done if they have formed
Early on the lesion is hardened with fluoride and remineralising products, arresting its progress and improving the appearance somewhat. For established marks, resin infiltration can be used: a flowable resin penetrates the porous enamel and brings its light transmission closer to the surrounding tissue, so the mark fades markedly. No tooth is removed. Where the marks are extensive, composite or veneers come into question.
