Do you ever wake up in the morning and wonder how you will get everything done? Does adding one more thing to your “to-do” list feel impossible? At Winning Smiles Custom Dentistry & Implant Center, we understand how busy you are and how easy it is to avoid going to the dentist. We also realize you may suffer from dental anxiety or worry about how you’re going to pay for dental work.
Once it’s been a long time since you’ve gone to the dentist, you might be embarrassed by your teeth and gums. If this sounds familiar, we want you to know you’re welcome at our dental office! Whether it has been five, 10, or 15 years, it’s not too late to schedule a dental cleaning and exam, and we might ask for a consultation before starting any dental work.
The Consequences of Not Visiting the Dentist and How Winning Smiles Custom Dentistry & Implant Center Can Help
You may think it’s too late to achieve healthy teeth and gums, but we offer a wide range of treatment options and can customize a plan to restore your smile. Avoiding the dentist can lead to the following oral health concerns and treatment options:
- Gum disease—Plaque is a sticky film that builds up on your gums when bacteria and saliva mix with sugars in what you eat and drink. Eventually, this plaque causes an infection known as gum disease. Swollen, inflamed gums can lead to tooth loss, so we treat gum disease with preventive cleanings, scaling and root planing, and antibiotics.
- Cavities — The same plaque that causes gum disease breaks down tooth enamel and causes holes known as cavities. Without treatment, tooth decay can worsen and lead to tooth loss. We clean and disinfect the area to eliminate tooth decay and then fill your tooth with tooth-colored composite resin. No one will even know you have a filling.
- Tooth Infections — If you don’t go to the dentist for a long time, you are more susceptible to tooth infections. Bacteria spread into your tooth’s roots through cavities and cause swelling and inflammation. When this happens, we perform root canal therapy to remove the infection and save your tooth.
