Nashville TN Sedation Dentists
Have you been searching for a Nashville TN sedation dentist? Regular dental care is the way to a bright, healthy smile. Unfortunately, a large percentage of the American population does not get the dental care they need either because they avoid the dentist due to dental phobia, or they are one of many hard to treat patients who find it difficult or impossible to tolerate dental care in a traditional dental office.
Lack of proper dental care results in more than just poor oral health. Not only can poor oral health lead to painful tooth infections, cavities, abscesses, and tooth loss, but a lack of oral health has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory ailments. In addition, poor oral health leads to tooth loss and poor eating habits. In addition, people with poor oral health often avoid social interaction and suffer from low self esteem, both of which deprive the patient of a healthy social life and the opportunity for advancement at work.
