Embarrassed to Go the Dentist After Years Away? Don’t Be
Okay, so maybe it’s been a few years since you’ve been to the dentist.
You have a pretty busy schedule between work and family commitments, so you just haven’t made dental visits a priority. It doesn’t help that you’ve had bad experiences in the past, making it easy to justify skipping those routine cleanings.
But now, you’re starting to notice issues. Maybe you’re experiencing pain in a certain spot every time you eat, or you somehow managed to chip your tooth while enjoying your favorite hard candy. You know you need to schedule an appointment soon, but you’re still hesitant to make that call. Not only do you still have the busy schedule and bad memories holding you back, you’re also, quite frankly, embarrassed. You’re well aware your oral health isn’t what it should be, and you don’t want to explain to the entire dental team why you’ve let so much time pass between visits.
