Haven’t Been to the Dentist in 5 Years?
Whether it’s been five years or significantly longer since you’ve seen the dentist, we are thrilled to welcome you back.
We understand that finances, fear, or any number of reasons have kept you from the dentist. We also know that years of neglect cause embarrassment. By now, you likely have several cavities or even a few missing or damaged teeth. Your Tuscaloosa dentist wants to help, and that compassion and support comes without judgment!
Of course, if you have spent years away from the dental chair, we may initiate your triumphant return with a thorough consultation to assess your immediate oral health needs. Then, we’ll discuss checkups and teeth cleanings.
4 Consequences of Not Visiting the Dentist and How Vandervoort Family Dentistry Can Help
- Bad Breath — Issues like untreated tooth decay and gum disease mean bad breath that returns despite brushing and flossing.
- Gum Disease — Gum disease is a serious oral health condition that costs you your teeth and compromises overall wellness.
- Tooth Decay — Without cavity treatment, you face tooth crumbling and loss.
- Tooth Infections — Untreated tooth decay and a lack of dental care increase the risk of deep and painful tooth infections.
Fortunately, the dentist can address these issues and mitigate your risks of severe complications. For example, untreated gum disease can affect whole-body wellness, putting your heart, lungs, and reproductive health at risk.
Our gentle team can ensure your relaxation and provide pain-free dental care, giving your smile a second chance.
