Too Embarrassed to Visit a Dentist?
                     TOO EMBARRASSED
TO VISIT A DENTIST?
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.

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.

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.
