8 Reasons Your Not Ready To Go To The Dentist
Dr. Tamisha Denis El, who refers to herself as "America's dentist," presents a compelling narrative about why many people avoid dental care. She compares going to the dentist to skydiving - an experience that can be exhilarating but also frightening for many.
Dr. Denis El explains that people often feel unprepared for dental visits due to a lack of knowledge about procedures and costs. This uncertainty can lead to misplaced priorities, like desiring teeth whitening when more serious issues need addressing. Many patients, she notes, rely on internet research, resulting in unrealistic expectations or misunderstandings about their dental needs.
Time management is another obstacle. Some individuals claim they're too busy for dental care, while others underestimate the time required for proper treatment. Past negative experiences frequently color patients' perceptions, creating a cycle of avoidance and fear.
The most significant barrier, Dr. Denis El emphasizes, is an overwhelming fear of dental procedures. This fear can overshadow all other concerns, keeping people from seeking necessary care.
