Many people avoid going to the dentist on a regular basis. They only come when there is an issue. This is referred to as “crisis treatment” as opposed to “preventive treatment.” While many patients may believe they are saving money, they frequently wind up spending far more in both cash and time. This is due to the fact that many dental disorders do not manifest symptoms until they are advanced in the disease process. Consider dental decay. It’s common to hear, “Nothing hurts… I don’t have any problems.”
