The average person will maintain some sort of oral health throughout their lifetime because of immediate need. This means the decision to make an appointment will most likely be a situation of unforeseen circumstance such as:

​

• Sudden pain or discomfort making it unbearable to carry out normal daily tasks such as eating, speaking, or regular hygiene like brushing or flossing

• An existing filling falls out or cracks

• A significant decay causing a tooth to become infected and most likely in need of extraction or root canal

• An existing Crown that has cracked or has disconnected from the tooth
   

The above scenarios can often be prevented or minimized by maintaining your oral health through regular 'periodic' dental visits. In reality, most of the sudden issues with your oral health are due to a lack of follow up

or regular dentist office visits.
