Do Dental Exams Hurt?

As we covered previously, during a dental exam, your dentist will simply be looking at your teeth and at x-rays to spot any problem areas. If they find a problem area before they begin working they will provide you with medication to numb the area. Many dentists will apply a numbing get first, then give you several shots of Novocaine. After these shots, the area that they are going to be working on will be numb. If you start to feel any discomfort while they are working you simply have to let them know, and they will give you more medication. If anxiety is still a problem many dentist offices also offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, or oral intravenous sedation when you are having significant work done.
Avoiding the dentist will cost you money and possibly teeth. A common reason that people avoid the dentist is that they say they can’t afford to go. The truth is that you really can’t afford to not go. When you have a toothache it’s your body’s way of telling you that there is something wrong.

Be Proactive About Dental Care

If you don’t address any dental problems they are not going to go away, and in fact, the problem is  going to get worse. What starts out as a simple cavity that is relatively inexpensive to fix can become a more serious problem that requires a root canal and crown. The cost of a root canal and crown is far greater than the cost of having a filling put in, so it really will save you money addressing the problem right away instead of waiting.  There is also the issue of pain and potential destruction to your health.  All of your body’s systems are interconnected.  So if you have gingivitis, it can affect your heart health as well.
Another risk you face if you wait to see the dentist is that you may end up losing a tooth, or even several teeth. If a tooth is in bad condition it can usually be saved with a root canal and crown, But, this is an expensive treatment that many people can’t afford. That leaves them with option number two, extracting a tooth.  So as you see, a little discomfort is better than the pain that removing a tooth and subsequent recovery time.  The best way to start is to call your dentist in Gilbert.
