According to the common belief, most of the people only visit the dentist if they have to face the symptoms of an already existing problem, for example: cold-warm sensitivity, unpleasant breath, bleeding of the gums (gingival bleeding) or pain that does not want to stop. After the thorough examination of the mouth and teeth and following the X-ray evaluation it will turn out what hides in the background of the complaints.
In many cases it can turn out that, such a high degree of caries has been formed- because of procrastination-that the tooth can only be saved with a root canal treatment and with a placement of a crown. It can also happen that an inflammation of the gums and a periodontal disease have been formed-because of neglected oral hygiene- which treatment is long and requires a lot of patience from the patient, not to mention its financial implications.
Nobody wants to hear it in the dental chair that the tooth has been damaged in such a great extent- because of procrastination-that it has to be removed. In these cases, even months can pass by until the bone can regenerate and we can place the implant. Placing an implant is of course a very up-to-date solution but it cannot be compared to a simple dental filling with which we could have solved the problem if we had gone to the dentist in the initial phase.
We can save so much trouble if we go to the dentist at least every sixth month where dental professionals can prevent and fix starting alterations, this way our teeth can be healthy again within a shorter amount of time and thanks to our foresight we will not weigh our budgets so much.
If You feel tense about going to the dentist, make an appointment at a dental clinic and a dentist You find nice and likable and during the meeting You can gather information about
the treatments.
During a meeting like this, You can create a confidential contact with your dentist. You can talk about your fears and concerns and it turns out whether You have met a dental professional meeting your expectations who is patient and understanding.
Do not procrastinate treatments, especially if You smoke or You have an existing illness which would be influenced by a dental problem in an unfavourable way.
