Part of you knows on an instinctual level that what you should be doing for yourself is picking up the phone, calling us, and getting a visit for a dental checkup set up. However, there’s another part of you that is a bit obsessed with the following question: What if it’s been a really long time since your last visit? What will this mean for you, for the way you’re treated, for your oral health’s long-term potential, and more? Fortunately, and possibly surprisingly enough, it’s all good news! Now, for some details.
We Will Understand
First, the most important thing we have to tell you is that we will absolutely be understanding and compassionate. Why is this the most significant message we’d like to extend? Well, because we very frequently find that patients stay away from their necessary dental care after a while simply because they are embarrassed. Reminder: Our priority is your oral health! We are always going to be happy to see you.
Waiting Longer Doesn’t Benefit You
Keep a logical mindset when you’re thinking about coming in for a visit. Remember that every extra day you wait, you’re not doing your oral health any favors. Instead, the only thing you can possibly accomplish is giving problems a bit more time to worsen.
We Can Fix Damage (And Get You Back Into Preventive Care)
Don’t forget that you’re not someone who is always going to be receiving repairs for your smile. Instead, you are someone who may require some amount of restorative treatment to get your smile healthy again. Then, once you recover your oral health, you will be like any other patient with a healthy grin (you’ll be able to maintain your teeth and gums with preventive care again)!
