Why Shouldn't I just Wait Until I'm in Serious Pain?

It Is important to not delay routine dental care because the underlying dental disease can be detected even before pain symptoms develop.

Getting to the root of the dental issue before it even starts will not only save you from unnecessary pain or days off work/school, it may also prove to be less costly in the long run.

For instance, treating tooth decay at it's earliest onset can be the difference between paying for a small filling vs root canal therapy & crown.
