Haven’t Been to the Dentist in Five Years?
What you can expect from your Huntsville dentist is a warm welcome back to regular dental care—whether you’ve spent five years or decades away!
The team at Twickenham Family Dentistry understands how finances, fear, and life circumstances can keep patients out of the dental chair. We understand embarrassment if you’ve waited too long. Maybe teeth are missing. Maybe decay is advanced. No matter! We are here for you. Our goal is to get you back on course for oral health success.
Typically, we start you with a comprehensive exam and teeth cleaning. In this case, we may have you come in for a thorough assessment first to address any immediate needs.
We’ll ensure your comfort and relaxation and provide a pain-free return to dental care.
3 Consequences of Not Visiting the Dentist and How Twickenham Family Dentistry Can Help
We aim to save your smile and prevent the oral and physical complications that can occur when you stop seeing the dentist. Below are a few common complications.
- Gum Disease — Gum disease is a severe consequence when you stop seeing the dentist. This condition is especially concerning because it can have systemic implications. For example, studies link untreated gum disease to pulmonary and pregnancy complications, rheumatoid arthritis, and even Alzheimer’s disease.
- Tooth Decay — Untreated tooth decay puts you at risk for tooth breakage, loss, and severe tooth infections. Deep decay also means crowning instead of a filling to save the tooth.
- Tooth Infections — Tooth infections cause severe toothaches and swelling and put you at risk for infection spread.
We treat gum disease to lower your risks for complications. In early gum disease, we can even reverse the condition. Your dentist also provides painless tooth decay treatment and root canal therapy in Huntsville. The latter rids your tooth of pain and infection.
