Tackling Your Dental Treatment Plan

Hi! My name is Addy Reed. I’m 57 years old and have been neglectful about going to the dentist. Last month was my first dentist visit in six years. I had always been diligent about twice a year cleanings and checkups, but time got away from me until one of my crowns came out. As we age, the dental work from years past tends to do that. When you neglect to visit the dentist on a regular basis, the list of things that need to be done may grow; at least this was my experience. I left the dentist office with an extensive list of things I needed to have done. The office staff was very kind. They are working with me to set up a plan. I’m going to share some ideas on how to tackle a dental treatment plan, keeping it affordable and not too overwhelming.

Learn How to Have Your Smile Restored after Being a Victim of Domestic Violence

Being a victim of domestic violence can be quite devastating for someone. There are some people who are victims of the violence who need dental work done, but are too embarrassed to seek the help that they need. If you have been a victim of domestic violence, the following guide will help you learn how to feel more comfortable with getting the dental care you need as soon as you can possibly get it.

Don't Be Embarrassed about Your Situation

Being embarrassed about what you went through can cause you to freeze in your current situation and prevent you from moving forward with your life. Dental pain can cause you to not be able to eat or sleep well. In order to start over in your journey, you need to be able to live a well-functioning life. Getting the rest you need and the nutrition your body requires is important. You do not need to be embarrassed to need help from a dentist to restore your smile to a healthy condition.

You must be Honest with Your Dentist

When you go to the dentist, you need to be honest with him or her about your dental situation. If you have damaged or lost teeth due to a traumatic episode with your ex, you need to let them know. The treatment for traumatic injury of your teeth is different than the treatment for teeth that have simply not been cared for properly. If you were hit in the mouth, the bones in your mouth may be damaged and need to be treated. Your gums may not be as strong as they were before you were hit, as well. The dentist will need to know the truth in order to treat you properly.

Everything Doesn't Have to be Done One Time

Many victims become fearful that the dentist will need to do a complete overhaul of their mouth over the course of one day. That is not the case at all. The dentist will evaluate your individual situation and determine what factors need to be addressed immediately and which can be addressed at a later time. This gives your mouth time to recoup after surgery or treatment is done to fix any damage that has been done to your mouth.

You deserve to be able to live a normal life after you have walked away from the abuse. You are worth the investment and need to realize that living in pain and anguish every day is not necessary. You can go in for a free consultation with a dentist like Ellen Bollmeier, DMD, LLC to determine what they can do to restore your smile, what it would cost, and if a payment plan can get established to get you the smile you deserve to have.
