Dental Health: Seeing a Dentist after Years of Neglect

I never intended to go for over a decade without seeing a dentist. As time went on, it was just easier to push the task off until a later date. It was only when I started having trouble with a tooth that I realized just how long it had been since my last checkup. There was some anxiety when I went on that first appointment.

Let me put your fears to rest about what to expect. Once you get past that first appointment, staying on track really will be easier.
