Previously, we’ve discussed how fear can keep people from visiting the dentist, and how sedation dentistry by Dr. Simmons allows people to overcome their anxiety for a rewarding dental experience.
In some cases, fear of pain isn’t the problem. Some people feel ashamed of their oral health and avoid the dentist because of embarrassment. In fact, according to dentalfearcentral.com, embarrassment is the primary concern that keeps people from visiting the dentist. Type “embarrassed to go to the dentist” into Google, and 26,900 results will show up.
What does this mean? You are not alone.
If you worry about being judged because of missing teeth, disease, halitosis, gum disease, dental decay, and other oral health problems, Dr. Simmons and our compassionate staff want to set your mind at ease. Our job is to help you, and we’ve successfully transformed many dental phobic people into calm, relaxed patients who attend regular dental visits without hesitation. We admire people who decide to make oral health, and overall health, a priority.
The truth is, you cannot afford to allow your oral health to remain poor. You probably know, dental problems do not go away without professional treatment. Decay and disease spread, destroying teeth, gums, and an attractive smile. Bad oral health contributes to serious overall health problems ranging from heart attack to dementia to diabetes complications.
Perhaps you’ve postponed dental treatment for years, and now you think your situation is hopeless.
