Dental crisis treatment
 Many
people don't see a dentist on a regular basis. They go only when they
feel they have a problem. At Heritage Oak Dental Clinic we call this "crisis treatment" as opposed to
"preventive treatment".
While these patients may feel they are saving
money, it usually ends up costing much more in both dollars and time. The reason for this is that most dental problems don't have any symptoms
until they reach the advanced stages.
An example is tooth decay. At Heritage Oak Dental Clinic we hear all the time, "Nothing hurts... I
don't have any problems". But tooth decay
doesn't hurt! Until, that is,
it gets close to the nerve of the tooth.
Then a root canal and crown are usually necessary, instead of the
small filling, which could have been placed several years ago when the
cavity was small. Dr. Gibb can usually detect a cavity 3-4 years before it may
develop any symptoms. It is not uncommon to see a patient with a
tremendous cavity and they have never felt a thing!
