Visiting the dentist<\/a> is scared for some people, but it\u2019s actually very important for your health to keep up with those cleanings and checkups! One of the most common reasons for this, is so you can make sure your teeth do not get cavities<\/strong>! Ignoring cavities can not only be painful, but life threatening…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reasons You Shouldn\u2019t Ignore Cavities<\/h2>\n

Cavities<\/strong> form when plaque builds up around your teeth and gums and creates bacteria. This causes tartar to form underneath your gums, between your teeth, and in crevices in your teeth themselves… Tartar works like a shield the bacteria can safely grow and fester underneath, burrowing further and further into your teeth. The end result is that sticky hole in your tooth known as a cavity… Ignoring your oral health and\/or cavities themselves can cause consistent pain and discomfort, as well as sensitivity to hot or cold food and drink. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of problems that will arise from ignoring your cavities<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\"Reasons<\/p>\n

Another ugly side effect is bad breath from your teeth literally decaying inside your mouth. Eew. If that\u2019s not enough to get you to make a dentist appointment and pick up that floss and toothbrush, I don\u2019t know what will! Well, maybe these further, more permanent risks will:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In extremely neglectful cases, your teeth could break and fall apart in your mouth from being so full of holes from cavities<\/strong>, or even develop an abscess full of infected puss. An abscess is a swollen pocket of infection that forms between your teeth and gums and if left untreated, can spread to the extent of causing sepsis, and even death.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re experiencing some oral discomfort, or just haven\u2019t been to the dentist in a while, give the office a call,\u00a0866-864-9382,\u00a0to make that appointment, and make sure those pearly whites are clean and healthy! Oral health is so important to your all around general health and shouldn\u2019t be ignored.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
