Risks Of Waiting On Dental Treatment

No one is eager to rush to the office for dental treatment, but for some people, a fear of the dentist becomes so overwhelming that they avoid getting help altogether.

In our dental office in Lone Tree, sedation dentistry is one of our specialties. We’ve helped hundreds of patients overcome their dental anxiety, by offering gentle dental care and by specializing in sedation dentistry (nitrous oxide, conscious sedation, and IV sedation.

The risks of waiting on dental treatment can be significant:
•broken teeth can turn into abscesses and infections
•gum disease can lead to overall health problems (including heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes)
•cracked fillings can lead to root canals and crowns
•temporary crowns left on too long can lead to permanent problems
•dental infections can lead to severe pain and/or spread to other parts of your body

If you’re in pain, you probably realize that something’s wrong. But an absence of pain doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re in good dental health. If you haven’t been to the dentist in more than a year, it would be a good idea to get back on track and come in for an exam.

We offer a free consultation, in which we can examine you, discuss your dental history, talk about recommended treatment, and go over the options we offer for pain-free dentistry.
