Dr. Katie To explains why the two-week post-op dental visit is her favorite: patients report unexpected wins like regained energy and vanished pain. Many come in with low expectations, so the positive outcomes hit harder.
It is a big deal. We see the patient back for 2 weeks post-op visit, and that's actually my favorite visit because that's when I hear success story. Not every patient at the 2-week visit could have success story, but the one that we hear more often are like, I got my energy back. I feel my pain goes away. Didn't know this is going to happen. This is amazing. So a lot of people going through the surgery with no expectations what's going to happen.
