Truth: Sure, a very, very little tiny part of our population isn’t going to end up with tooth decay. However, this is such a small number that if you find someone is claiming they don’t care for their smile health but that everything is just fine, here’s what’s probably happening: Your friend isn’t seeing a dentist and, as a result, is unaware that problems like decay or gingivitis are underway. Remember: Brushing and flossing are a must for everyone!
Truth: Yes, second opinions are always a good idea if you think that you’ve been told by another practice that you need something that seems excessive. When it comes to our practice, however, remember that we make conservative recommendations. If we suggest a root canal treatment, it’s because your tooth is infected or infection is extremely likely. What your friend might not know is that an infection is brewing and will eventually abscess and may rupture. Remember: Infections are not always obvious at first.
Don’t be swayed by anyone’s comments in regard to your oral health needs. Instead, when you require a treatment, make it snappy, so you protect your smile health without making things complicated.
