Visiting your dentist after a while of neglect can be scary for many. The last thing we want is to visit our dental office and then be ridiculed or made fun of due to the appearance or health of our teeth. Thankfully, this is just a scare that some people have convinced themselves of. The reality is much different, and many dentists are wholly supportive of their patients and will do everything they can do to help them recover their dental health and encourage better habits.
