Understanding Dental Anxiety and Its Impacts on Health
Dental anxiety, or fear of the dentist, prevents many from receiving necessary dental care, which can deteriorate oral health and require more complex treatments later. At Manassas Smiles, we address this issue head-on with our sedation dentistry services, ensuring you can maintain excellent oral health without fear or discomfort.
The Consequences of Dental Anxiety
- Neglected Oral Health: Avoiding the dentist leads to unchecked oral issues that may become severe.
- Reduced Self-Confidence: Dental problems can affect your appearance and self-esteem.
- Health Risks: There is a proven connection between oral health and conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
