If you have been avoiding the dental chair because of dental anxiety, call and schedule an appointment with Dental Cosmetics in Anaheim Hills.

Staying away from the dentist will only make things worse and sadly, that means more time in the chair which is exactly what you want to avoid.

Dental Anxiety is Manageable

Dental anxiety, phobia or dental fear is manageable with sedation dentistry. Sedation dentistry puts people at ease whether it’s a fear of the needle or a fear of sitting in the dental chair.

Being anxiety free means you won’t skip dental appointments because of fear and that means you’ll have healthier teeth and gums.

For example, if you ignore bleeding gums because of dental anxiety your gingivitis can easily turn into periodontal disease.

Periodontitis is manageable, if treated, but not curable. Gingivitis on the other hand is completely curable as long as you see your dentist when symptoms present themselves.

Signs you May Be Suffering from Gum Disease Include:

• Puffy and red gums
• Swollen gums
• Bleeding gums
• Gums that are tender to the touch
• Bright red, purple or dusky red gums
• Chronic bad breath
• Spitting out blood after brushing or flossing
• Your toothbrush is pink after brushing
• Pus between gums and teeth

If you have any of the above symptoms your dentist in Anaheim Hills recommends scheduling a dental appointment as soon as possible as some of these symptoms means that you might be dealing with periodontitis and not gingivitis. As mentioned previously, periodontal disease is not curable.

Tooth Decay and Dental Anxiety

Tooth decay is another issue if you suffer from dental anxiety, fear or extreme phobia. Just like gum disease tooth decay won’t repair itself. Tooth decay will progress making that small toothache much too big for a small and simple filling.
If the cavity is large Dr. Ringer may have to crown the top of the filling to strengthen the restored tooth. If the tooth is damaged beyond repair and dead inside root canal therapy may be the only answer.
