Life gets busy, and with work, school, family, and other commitments, it’s easy to let dental visits slip through the cracks. Maybe you’ve been avoiding the dentist because of anxiety or financial worries. Or perhaps, after a while, you just felt too embarrassed to go back, worried about what the dentist might think.

3 Consequences of Skipping Dental Visits—and How We Can Help
- Gum Disease—Even if you brush and floss regularly, routine teeth cleanings with a hygienist are crucial. Otherwise, plaque builds up, leading to gum disease, which can lead to inflammation, bleeding gums, and even tooth loss. Dr. Schmitt’s team offers professional scaling and root planing to clean below the gum line and restore gum health if needed.
- Cavities — Skipping dental visits increases your risk of cavities, which can worsen without treatment. Our office provides gentle fillings and preventive care to stop further damage and restore your smile.
- Tooth Infections — Untreated cavities or gum disease can lead to painful tooth infections that can harm overall health. We offer root canals and other restorative treatments to save your tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.
