Trusting your gut is usually the right call, especially when it comes to dental stuff. I've seen plenty of cases where patients waited too long because they didn't want to seem overly cautious, and minor issues turned into bigger headaches. It's always better to double-check if something feels off—peace of mind is worth the extra trip, honestly. Glad you caught that minor issue early, sounds like you made the right choice.
I've noticed that too—catching things early saves a lot of stress. But how soon after treatment do you usually go back if everything feels fine...do you wait for the regular check-up or go sooner just to be safe?
I usually stick to the regular check-up schedule if everything feels good...my ortho said that's fine. But if something feels off or weird, I'd definitely go sooner—better safe than sorry, right?
That's a sensible approach—you're definitely on the right track. Regular check-ups usually catch issues early, but trusting your instincts when something feels off is important too. I've seen plenty of situations where patients noticed subtle changes that turned out to be meaningful. It's always better to have peace of mind than worry needlessly...so good call listening to your gut on this one.
I usually stick to the dentist's recommended schedule—every 6 months or so—but honestly, if something feels off, I don't wait. Had a filling once that felt weird after treatment...went back early and turns out it needed adjusting. Trust your instincts for sure.
