1. Oral health problems don’t improve without treatment.
In fact, most conditions only get worse. When you identify and treat problems with your teeth and gums in the early stages, you stop the progression of decay or disease and avoid unnecessary pain and cost.

2. You may be tired of hearing it but flossing is important.
Do you floss your teeth about as often as you change the oil in your car? There’s a reason why you hear, “floss,floss, floss,” at the dentist’s office. Toothbrushes can’t remove food between your teeth; you need to floss for this. If the food isn’t removed, you’re more likely to have tooth decay and gum disease.

3. In most cases, it’s better to have a root canal than to pull the tooth.
Many people avoid root canals because they have unwarranted fear of the procedure, which today is relatively pain-free. In removing the tooth’s decayed pulp and treating the underlying infection, the tooth can be preserved. Pulling a tooth may seem easier, but it will likely cost more to replace the missing tooth with an implant or bridge.

4. Choose the dental implant.
If you lose a tooth, a dental implant is a better option than a crown. Why? because a crown requires removal of a portion of the teeth on either side of the empty tooth socket. An implant is attached to the jaw bone, leaving other teeth in their original condition.

5. It’s pointless to have cosmetic dentistry without first treating oral health conditions.
The popularity of cosmetic dentistry is skyrocketing. Advanced procedures work wonders in approving the appearance of your smile. But they shouldn’t be performed if you have untreated tooth decay or gum disease.

An unpleasant experience in the past may be the cause of the anxiety. Other common concerns include:

  • Fear of injections
  • Fear of pain or the anaesthetic not working
  • Concerns about unnecessary treatment and anxiety about cross-infection, bleeding and vomiting

What can be done?

Don’t be embarrassed about expressing your concerns and talk to your dentist. If you haven’t been for a while, you may wish to contact a number of practices first and explain your concerns over the phone. You may also find that pain relief and dental techniques have improved or changed since your last visit

If you need treatment, ask plenty of questions and make sure you understand exactly what will happen, which should help you to feel more in control. You may also wish to take a friend or relative with you for support.

If the thought of a long treatment session is worrying you, discuss it with your dentist and work on a coping strategy, such as a hand signal if you need to take a break for a few moments.

If your anxiety is very strong you may wish to explore some of the following approaches:

  • Relaxation techniques
  • Sedation
  • Hypnosis
  • Psychotherapy
  • Acupuncture

In any case, we wish to be of assistance to you and make your experience with us as pleasant and fun as possible – while giving you what you need in dental care services.

Call us today at 09-638 9574 and let’s make it happen!
