At Dentistry of Fishers, we understand that life can get in the way, and sometimes years can go by between dental visits. Maybe your schedule has been too hectic, or dental anxiety has kept you away. Financial stress or other challenges might have made prioritizing your oral health feel impossible.

Whatever the reason, we want you to know there’s no judgment here, just compassion and support. We know it can be hard to take that first step, especially if you feel embarrassed about the state of your teeth, but no matter where you are in your journey, we’re here to help, starting with a gentle cleaning, a general exam, or even a simple consultation.

Although we may recommend a consultation first to better plan your care, rest assured that every visit is a fresh start toward a healthier smile, and we’ll be with you every step of the way.

The Consequences of Not Visiting the Dentist and How Dentistry of Fishers Can Help

When you haven’t been to the dentist for a long time, you may have dental issues that need to be addressed. Here are some possible concerns we see and how we can help solve them for you:

  • Gum disease — Without regular dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, your gums can become inflamed and infected. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Fortunately, we offer periodontal treatment to restore your gum health and save your smile.
  • Cavities — When you don’t go to the dentist, plaque buildup can lead to holes in your teeth, known as cavities. We can clean the decayed area of your tooth and fill it with tooth-colored composite resin.
  • Tooth infections — If you leave tooth decay untreated or have cracked or chipped teeth, it can lead to a dental infection. We can perform root canal therapy for deep tooth decay to remove the infection and save your natural tooth.
