Dental Anxiety? 4 Reasons To Stop Avoiding A Checkup

Written By Emma Sturgis / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

If you have anxiety about going to the dentist, you are far from alone. In fact, between nine and 20 percent of Americans avoid going to the dentist completely because of dental anxiety, and many more suffer anxiety before their appointments. There are many things that can cause you to feel anxious about going to the dentist, but you should not allow these issues to prevent you from getting the dental care that you need. Instead, think about these reasons why you should stop avoiding your regular dental checkups.

There Are Dentists Who Can Help

There are many compassionate, experienced dentists who understand that their patients have this fear. Many dentists are surprisingly patient about this, so talk to your dentist to find out how he or she can help. If your anxiety is very bad, you can even look into sleep dentistry. With this option, you will not be able to feel or remember anything about your appointment at all.

Your Dental Health Impacts Your Overall Health

You might think that it’s only your teeth and gums that are at risk if you don’t go to the dentist, but this is not true at all. You could be at risk for heart disease and many other issues if you don’t get regular dental care. Taking good care of your overall health involves going to the dentist on a regular basis for cleanings, checkups and care.

 Waiting To See A Dentist Can Cost You A Lot of Money

The longer that you wait to see the dentist, the more your next appointment will probably cost. Missing out on regular cleanings can lead to the need for a deep cleaning, which takes longer and costs a lot more. If you don’t take good care of your teeth, you could end up with gum disease, cavities, tooth loss and more, all of which can add up to some major costs. Seeing your dentist regularly, on the other hand, can help you keep costs under control.

You Can Regain Your Self-Esteem

If you haven’t been taking good care of your teeth, you might be embarrassed about your smile. By seeing a dentist, you can get help with all of your dental issues so that you will be proud to show off your pearly whites.

If you have been putting off your dental checkups because of your anxiety about going to the dentist, it’s time to make some changes. Look for a good dentist who has experience with working with people with dental anxiety for help.
