\"dental<\/a>It is no secret that people don\u2019t always visit the dentist regularly. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a> estimates only 61 percent of adults 18-64 years of age have visited the dentist in the past year and only 60 percent of adults over 65 visit the dentist annually. There are many reasons why people don\u2019t visit the dentist, such as affordability, dental anxiety, and embarrassment. As time passes between each dentist visit, the damage to your teeth only continues, potentially resulting in serious oral health complications, which can impact your overall health. At Williamsburg Dental, we understand that sometimes you put off going to the dentist, but we\u2019re here for you when you are finally ready.

I haven\u2019t Been to a Dentist in Years<\/h2>\n

There are many reasons why people avoid the dentist. Among the top reason people don\u2019t go to the dentist is due to dental fear. Fear can be caused from a number of factors, like the fear of needing dental work, fear of instruments, and the fear of being lectured for not going to the dentist sooner.<\/p>\n

These fears are only amplified if you\u2019ve had a bad experience in the past while at the dentist.
