Some Reasons People Avoid Taking Care of their Gum Disease – Which Group Are You In?
Lack of Knowledge:
Many people are affected by gum disease (it's estimated that more than 3 of every 4 adults over the age of 35 have some form of gum disease) - yet many people don't even know that they have it! If you have even the smallest hint that something is wrong with your gums, please - take the assessment risk test (see the link above) and begin your first steps towards treatment.
Fear:
Another common reason we hear of people avoiding treatment is FEAR. Fear of dentists - Fear of pain - Fear of the unknown. This can be alleviated by education. Browse through this site and you'll learn that effective treatment of gum disease is straight-forward and can be pain free. With the use of the Biolase laser in our San Luis Obispo office, procedures are less invasive and tend to be less uncomfortable.
Cost:
Many people are concerned about the cost. Our office has flexible payment options to ensure that any portion not covered by dental insurance is affordable. Ask yourself what the real cost would be if you do nothing. Conditions that can be reversed now will progressively become more difficult to treat. We will treat you as conservatively as possible and keep your costs low, but our mutual goal is to help you save as many teeth as possible during your lifetime.
