WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF DENTAL APPOINTMENTS ARE MISSED:
It is perfectly understandable – many people try to “tough it out”…”true grit”…some people think it is “soft” to go to a dentist for “a little toothache” or an annual check up…However, constant or periodically reoccurring teeth problems is your mouths (only) way of warning you…maybe a potentially serious problem exists…pain is an alarm that should not be ignored.
IT COULD GET WORSE & YOU COULD LOSE TIME AT WORK
After back pain dental problems is one of the leading causes of time lost from work. In these days of company downsizing and job insecurity, you want to be at work and at your best when you are there.
IT COULD MAKE FUTURE NECESSARY DENTAL CARE MORE DIFFICULT, MORE TIME CONSUMING, MORE COSTLY AND LESS EFFECTIVE.
Delaying needed treatment…masking pain with aspirin, other drugs…may only succeed at making treatment more difficult when time comes that you no longer put it off.
IT COULD CREATE A NEED FOR DENTAL SURGERY.
