TO VISIT A DENTIST?
TOO EMBARRASSED
It is so powerful that
the fear of showing
the dentist your
yellow or missing
teeth could cause
you to avoid making
an appointment for
a checkup or
cleaning.

While we understand
your desire to hide
your smile, we also
want to make sure that
you know that you are
safe in our office.
In fact, we prefer
you to come in for
a visit since delaying
dental care can
seriously endanger
your health.

MORE SERIOUS INTERVENTION
When you avoid going to the dentist because you're embarrassed
about how long it has been since you've seen a dentist, and how
bad your teeth are, you are only making a bad situation worse.
Cavities should be filled as soon as possible, before they start
causing you pain, get infected, or get so bad you'll have to get
a root canal and/or crown.

CROWN QUICKLY
It's not uncommon to lose a
dental crown when eating
something hard and sticky,
especially if the crown has
been in place for years or the
tooth below it has degraded.
Sometimes it can be
reattached and will be fine
for many more years.
By putting off getting it
reattached or replaced,
you're inviting serious
problems, such as infection
in the form of an abscess.
A V O I D D A N G E R O U S
GUM INFECTION
Pretty teeth are great,
but you also need to worry
about your gum health.
Gum disease can lead to
tooth loss, but it also impacts
the rest of your body.
People with untreated gum
disease are at greater risk for
having a heart attack, and it
is believed that this is due to
an increase of inflammation
and bacteria in the body.
You can also develop a major
abscess near a tooth that can
spread throughout your face
and neck.
In most cases, an abscess
should be treated
as an emergency situation
since it can cause intense pain
and increase the risk
of new infections in the mouth.
G E T S C R E E N E D
FOR CANCER
Oral cancer screenings are
another service that we
provide that impacts your
overall health.
When you think about it,
most people rarely have
their inner cheeks, tongue
and roof of their mouth
checked by a doctor.
Since oral cancer usually
has a good prognosis when
it is caught early, delaying
your dental visit could be
keeping you from treating
early lesions before they
have a chance to spread.

SELF IMAGE
Your mental health also plays a role
in your wellbeing.

gives you a huge confidence boost,
