Avoiding professional care and neglecting your oral health will have serious consequences. This patient had severe gum disease for years. Most patients aren’t aware that they have gum disease because there is no pain involved most of the time. She had a temporary bridge attached to her severely infected teeth and she avoided her dentist for several years after that because of her phobia. The neglect caused serious damage to her gums and teeth. It wasn’t until she found me and trusted my office that she began her smile journey.
Dental phobia is real but the consequences are far worse than the fear… please don’t neglect your oral care. Go see your dentist. We understand your fear and we will treat you with patience and care.
