Northampton, MA \u2013 Northampton dentists<\/a> Dr. Lisa Emirzian and Dr. Vincent Mariano from EMA Dental warn people not to delay dental visits.
\nAlthough economic uncertainties may mean people want to avoid the expense of dentistry, not visiting the dentist can have serious health consequences.
\n\u201cYou may be concerned about your family\u2019s expenses. However, regular visits to your dentist are one thing you shouldn\u2019t cut back on,\u201d says Dr. Emirzian, a Northampton dentist.\u00a0 Finding reasons not to devote time and money to a dental visit<\/a> is very easy. But that is only short-term thinking. If the dentist can find a trouble spot while it\u2019s still in the early stages, it is simpler and far cheaper to treat than if it\u2019s discovered later. <\/span>
\nPrevention is the primary key to lifelong dental health. Many serious conditions can be avoided or treated if they are discovered early on in the process. \u201cIn the early stages, oral cancer, decay, abscesses, gum infections, tooth wear, and enamel erosion are all more easily and successfully treated,\u201d explains Northampton dental implants provider Dr. Mariano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Untreated, many dental problems can grow more serious and more expensive to correct. For instance, a small cavity that is not treated can expand and spread to the tooth\u2019s nerve, where it will lead to an infection or abscess. It is only at this point that the patient experiences pain and realizes there\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

Instead of a simple filling, you now need more extensive and expensive treatment to address the issue.\u00a0 However, the cost of a root canal can be avoided if the decay is removed before it gets to the tooth\u2019s nerve.\u00a0 \u201cDon\u2019t wait until something causes pain,\u201d warns Dr. Emirzian, awho also is a tooth whitening provider. \u201cIf you\u2019re feeling pain, the problem is probably already serious and more difficult to treat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Northampton family dentistry<\/a> provider also observes that a healthy mouth is key to a healthy body.\u00a0 Infections that start in the mouth can spread anywhere else in your body. Researchers have also found links between gum disease and other health conditions, including: high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, premature births and many more. Often, a patient\u2019s dentist is the first health professional to note alterations in his or her physical condition. Dental visits can also help detect acid reflux and gastroenterological diseases, some auto-immune disorders, liver diseases and other conditions.
\n\u201cRegular dental visits can help detect and avoid many health conditions,\u201d says Dr. Emirzian, an extreme makeover<\/a> specialist. \u201cBut we can\u2019t help if the patients don\u2019t visit.\u201d<\/p>\n
