What Happens When You Neglect Dental Visits?

It is common for patients to ignore regular dental visits. The reality of it is that catching dental problems early just makes a lot of sense. If you wait and put it off, a simple cavity that could be fixed with just a filling could turn into a much bigger problem requiring a root canal and a crown. Even worse, the tooth may need to be extracted, and you could have to replace it with a dental implant and a crown. It’s costly and time consuming when dental issues become complicated.

Providing Preventative Instructions

When you and your whole family are aware of what it takes to keep your teeth healthy, you already are on your way to enjoying better dental health. At Gentle Dental Care, we provide information to the whole family as part of the Preventative Program designed to educate our patients.

Fluoride Treatments

One of the best ways to help ensure that your children’s teeth stay in good shape is to provide them with a fluoride treatment. Every day the bacteria in your mouth produce acid when they come in contact with sugar and carbs. The acid depletes the enamel on your teeth of important minerals. Fluoride helps the remineralization process which keeps the teeth strong.

Fight Gum Disease

Many Americans have gum disease today, including a serious form called periodontitis. This is why many Americans lose their teeth. Periodontitis is an advanced form of gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing this condition. We'll check for signs of periodontitis at each visit, and we may recommend a deep cleaning or other treatments to help you maintain healthy gums.

Dental Insurance

Many people are not aware of the limitations of dental insurance. Insurance typically operates on a preventive program basis. It may offer free dental exams, but will only pay limited amounts toward actual treatment needs. Some dental treatments are not covered at all, and those that are will likely have high copays. We'll work with you to find solutions that make dental care affordable, and taking preventative measures that keep your teeth healthy will save you money.

"I absolutely love this dentist! I initially came in to get veneers on my two front teeth which turned out beautifully, they look & feel very natural, definitely exceeded my expectations. I’ve also gotten whitening done here on two separate occasions, each treatment comes with 4 sessions and the results are amazing."

Michelle M.

"I’ve been coming to this office for about two years now and the service has always been great. After I broke my front tooth the dentist was very reassuring and took care of me and replaced it. His work is very efficient and precise. The staff at the front desk make my experience run smoothly."
