When dental problems can ruin life's chances

When dental problems can ruin life's chances

Does fear of the dentist or the possible cost of treatment keep you from taking proper care of your dental health?

National Smile Month, which began on May 20th, is organised by the British Dental Health Foundation, a charity set up to raise awareness of the importance of dental care, especially prevention (being better than cure).

From the misery of toothache to the embarrassment of missing teeth, bad breathe or a snaggle-tooth smile, avoiding dental visits is not always a smart idea. Worse still if a niggly problem is left and then gets really bad on Christmas Eve or as you leave to get away on your hard-earned holiday.

Even worse, imagine an event that you have been building up to for months or even years;
Your wedding or what might be the pinnacle of your life's achievements, as might have happened to this Olympic athlete. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/9494272.stm

How sad or foolish it would be if a preventable dental problem stopped her talking part in an Olympic event or final ! A double disaster.

Perhaps you a not an Olympic participant but we all have important landmark events in our lives. Exams, interviews, gap-year travelling, long saved-for holidays, weddings, important anniversaries, graduation ceremonies,  charity runs. The list goes on.

Don't wait until its too late. Call us to talk about the issues which keep you away from the dentist.......

This is a free consultation we offer at 5.15pm
