Haven't Been to the Dentist in 5 Years?
There's no need to fear if it's been years since your last dental visit. Dr. Yang and our friendly team understand that life can get busy, and circumstances like a hectic schedule, dental anxiety, or financial stress can keep you away from the dentist for longer than you’d like. At Christian Yang, DDS, we understand that you might feel embarrassed about your teeth or oral health if you haven’t visited a dentist in a while. We want to assure you that our dental practice is a welcoming and non-judgmental environment, whether it’s been five, ten, or fifteen years since your last visit. We’re here to provide compassionate care and address any concerns you may have.
3 Consequences of Not Visiting the Dentist and How Christian Yang, DDS Can Help
- Gum Disease—Missing dental checkups can allow plaque and tartar to build up, leading to gum disease. If left untreated, this condition can cause gum inflammation, bleeding, and even tooth loss. We offer thorough cleanings and periodontal treatments to address gum disease, reduce inflammation, and restore gum health.
- Cavities—Without regular dental visits, Cavities can develop and worsen over time. The absence of professional cleanings means decay goes unchecked, leading to more extensive and costly procedures. Our team can detect early signs of cavities through comprehensive exams and x-rays and provide fillings or other treatments to restore your teeth and prevent further decay.
- Tooth Infections — Delayed dental care can result in infections, which may cause severe pain and require more invasive treatments. Infections often stem from untreated cavities or gum disease. At Christian Yang, DDS, we understand the importance of pain relief and the preservation of dental health. We diagnose and treat tooth infections with root canals or other necessary procedures to relieve pain and preserve your dental health.
