Dental Anxiety Can Steal Your Smile and Health
Dental anxiety can prevent good oral and overall health.
Being afraid of the dentist’s office by itself is not the problem. It’s not unusual, and even understandable, that some people are filled with anxiety at the thought of sitting in a dental chair. But this anxiety becomes a problem when that fear is so intense that it keeps you away from visits to your Simple Smiles dentist!
It’s important to know how letting your dental anxiety keep you from visiting us may affect your oral and overall health. If you maintain a good oral hygiene routine at home, that’s a good start! However, that alone is not enough to keep gum disease at bay. It takes a skilled professional who has the training, tools, and experience to keep more serious dental problems at bay.
