Have you been letting your fear of the dentist keep you from going into the dental office and getting the essential dental care you need?
If you have, you’re not alone. The fear of the dentist is common among child and adult patients. Patients fear the dental office for many reasons including the unpleasant sounds and smells, fear of pain and botched procedures, negative childhood dental experiences, an unwelcoming dental office environment, and unfriendly staff and dentists who aren’t personable and care more about getting a greater volume of patients through the door than building relationships with each patient.
Some patients have neglected proper dental hygiene and, as a result, have teeth and gums that aren’t as healthy nor as good-looking as they ought to. These patients may feel too embarrassed to have the dentist take a look at them.
Regardless of your reason to avoid the dentist, you’re putting your oral health at risk the longer you wait to see the dentist.
The staff and dentists at Grove City Dental recommend patients come in for a dental examination and professional teeth cleaning once every six months. These
regular dental check-ups allow us to catch possible dental health issues early, so you can be spared the long, intensive dental procedures that may be necessary to restore your smile.
