At my dental office in Kettering, we generally advise patients to see the dentist regularly, about every six months, to help maintain excellent oral and overall health. However, sometimes things happen in our lives and we just forget to keep up with appointments or schedule a checkup. We see and treat many patients who have not been able to see the dentist for many years because of many different reasons, but we’re always happy to welcome them!
Why Patients Don’t See The Dentist
These are common, valid reasons people tend to avoid the dentist – for a few months to a few years.
- A bad experience at the dentist in the past makes you nervous
- You’re afraid to find out what is wrong or what repairs you may need
- You’re feeling embarrassed because it’s been awhile since your last visit
- You just simply don’t have time to make it to an appointment or cleaning

What Will Happen At The Office
When you come to see us, we will be there to help you every step of the way. First, we will make sure we have all of the necessary paperwork on file. We can also work with your previous dentist to obtain any past records or x-rays you may have on file there. If you’ve moved or that office is no longer open, it’s no big deal! We will get you set up and comfortable at the office for a thorough exam (including a new set of state-of-the-art x-rays) to get a better understanding of what’s happening with your teeth. Our team will also take a look at your gums too! This way we know if you need extra special care and treatment for gum disease. We will take the time to get to know you and your needs.
My Kettering dental office is your new home for comprehensive dental care that you can trust. Our team is educated and excited to work with you to get your smile back in the best shape possible, no matter how long it’s been since you’ve sat in the dental chair!
