Avoiding the Dentist? By Cori (Parkland Pacific Dental Hygienist)

9/29/2015

14 Comments

 
There are many reasons why people avoid making time to go to the dentist. Some reasons have to do with cost, lack of dental insurance, or time constraints.  Then there are some who just put if off or keep forgetting to make an appointment because they are not experiencing any discomfort or have any nagging reasons like bad breath or a rough spot in their mouth to remind them.  Some people are afraid of making an appointment because it has been a few years since they have been and don’t want to be embarrassed admitting they have neglected their oral health. And some people are just afraid because of previous experiences they have encountered in the dental chair.  

I would like to give you some good reasons to ditch any and all excuses mentioned above and get into see your dental team at Parkland Pacific Dental.  I am a registered dental hygienist at Parkland Pacific Dental and from my own personal experience most people who take the time to face their issues and get into the dental chair are surprised to find their fears were unmerited. 

Before I address some of the excuses or reasons listed above, I first want to let you know what is at risk if you avoid seeing your dentist on a regular interval.  Besides the obvious, like getting dental infections such as cavities and periodontal disease treated before you lose teeth, there are some silent and life-changing consequences you can hopefully avoid.  Most significant is getting screened for oral cancers.  Oral cancers usually are not painful when they are in the early stages and by the time a person has symptoms that would cause them to seek out medical or dental advise they can be very invasive or advanced.  Every time you get a dental check up, the dentist and hygienist are looking not only at your teeth but also for any suspicious looking tissue in and around the mouth. Also there is more and more information on the correlation between the health of your mouth and your overall systemic health.  The most well known is the link between the health of your mouth and your cardiovascular health.  Most people have probably been made aware that regular checkups and professional dental cleanings are important to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease such as increase blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack and stroke. There are also studies that show a direct correlation to chronic inflammation in the oral cavity (puffy, bloody gums) and a higher incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmune chronic illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and type II diabetes, especially for people who already have some biological tendency for those illnesses.  Some reports suggest it is not real clear if the connection between chronic inflammation and biological tendency toward these illnesses is correlated or causal, however it is agreed upon that if you have any chronic conditions, unhealthy mouths can exasperate the symptoms. And for all the women of childbearing age, they should be aware that chronic inflammation in a pregnancy can lead to premature and low birth weight babies.  Some insurances companies recognize this and cover/pay for more dental cleanings (3 to 4 instead of 1 or 2) during pregnancy.  So, I am not just urging you to come to the dentist because I work in the dental field and enjoy helping people maintain health, it is because the evidence is out there showing you are risking your overall health not just a toothache, bad breath, and broken teeth.  

If you have been putting off a visit because you are worried about the cost and don’t have dental insurance, you can call and find out before you arrive what to expect.  Our dental office offers cash and senior discounts, and in some cases we can offer a dental package that includes routine exams, radiographs, and cleanings at a discounted rate.  And the bigger picture is when you weigh the cost of going to the dentist for regular semi-annual or annual exams and cleanings to the cost of ignoring your oral health there is no question which is less expensive in the long run.  

If making time to make the call to schedule appointment during office hours is keeping you away, Parkland Pacific offers the option of email and/or leaving a message to receive a text, email, or phone call back to answer your questions and schedule an appointment. Our dental office also offers flexible schedules to accommodate most scheduling needs. 

If fear is keeping you from making your dental appointment because your memory of the dental office is less than a pleasant experience, just know the dental office of today is much more comfortable. Fear is sometimes irrational and trying to convince you of that is usually not enough to change it and that is why Parkland Pacific Dental offers medications and nitrous to help you relax during your dental appointment.   If it is a fear of embarrassment what will be found because you notice a dark spot or stain that won’t brush off, if it is the start of an infection, the sooner you address it the more options you have to repair the situation.  Waiting too long can lead to unnecessary discomfort and tooth loss. 

Recently I encountered someone who had not been in to the dental office in several years due to lack of dental insurance and once they saw the pictures of their teeth covered by plaque and mineralized plaque (also known as calculus or tartar build up). And the pictures after removing the debris hiding under the calculus were nice, beautiful, white, teeth! No cavities.  They were so happy to have made the choice to come in to our office and have us examine and clean their teeth. You can also see how puffy and red the gums where with all the plaque and tartar (calculus) on the teeth, but after it is cleaned off they start to get healthy almost immediately. 

So give us a call or send us an email to schedule your visit to our office.  You may also have a hidden treasure of a beautiful smile, let the dental team at Parkland Pacific Dental help you find your treasure.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email [email protected] website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341

LOVE SPELL TESTIMONY

Thank you so much DOCTOR ODUNGA for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and I dated for more than 3 years and although we had had so many quarrels we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and I did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew I needed to seek help because of the love I have for him. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because I am soon going to be a married girl with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]

I have faced many challenges in my life, particularly financial ones. I have experimented with various jobs and business ventures but none seemed to be successful for me. As the saying goes, when you exhaust your options, you look for assistance. During my search for self-improvement, I came across someone sharing their gratitude towards Meduza, the renowned spell caster for helping them win the lottery. Initially, I had my doubts but I felt compelled to give it a shot since my life was falling apart. I contacted him for help, and he agreed to assist me with a prosperity spell. It took almost three days for him to complete the spell for me and after two weeks, I found myself among the fortunate winners of $1 MILLION from the Elon Musk give away. At this moment, I want to state that Meduza is the top spell caster I have discovered online and I would appreciate your support in expressing my immense gratitude to him via his email: [email protected] or WhatsApp +1 807 907-2687.

Am using this opportunity to thank Dr. Guba is a grateful thing to me, for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease, I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has be gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Guba who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Guba and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease, then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now. I promise Dr. Guba I will testify about his good work on the internet. Reach out to Him Via: [email protected] Thank you so much sir for what you did for me you’re the best of all.
