Do your palms sweat at the thought of a routine dental visit? Are you scared of the unknown or embarrassed because you haven’t been to the dentist in years? There are so many reasons adults avoid the dentist, and our caring dental team understands that dental visits aren’t anyone’s favorite thing to do.
We hope you’ll give us a chance to show you what a judgment-free dental office looks like in Indianapolis.
Why Adults Avoid the Dentist
There are numerous reasons adults don’t go to the dentist.
Some of the most common reasons include the following:
- Cost — Many adults don’t have dental insurance, so they think they can’t afford treatment. We offer a dental membership plan to help you get the care you deserve. Regular preventive care can save money in the long run.
- Fear and anxiety — Dental anxiety, fear of needles or loud sounds, inability to give up control, and traumatic past experiences keep many adults out of the dental office.
- No symptoms — A common misconception is that if your teeth aren’t bothering you, there’s nothing to worry about. However, dealing with small issues now is better than allowing them to worsen. And no one wants to wait until it’s an emergency to seek care.
- Embarrassment — Many adults are embarrassed about what their teeth look like or feel shame about poor oral hygiene habits.
- Time — People are busy going to work, raising families, and dealing with numerous other obligations; as a result, they often skip going to the dentist.
