At Carolina Complete Dental, we love spreading the news about all things dental health, so here is some headache information that just might change your life.

Bruxism and Headaches

Is it ever too late for dental work?

July 27, 2015

Dental WorkLet’s be honest. If you are like most Goose Creek folks, you’ve probably put off going to the dentist at one time or another. Some of us have even avoided seeing a dentist for years at a time. In fact, one in three Americans avoid going to the dentist regularly.

After a while, that time spent away from Dr. Barganier’s chair adds up, and so does the cost of dental work.

Plaque and tartar buildup, toothaches, sensitivity to hot and cold, bleeding gums, deep, dark stains, perhaps even loose, clearly decaying teeth. Either way, by the time you get to this point you are probably wondering – is it too late to see the dentist?
