Portland OR Dentist Helps You Navigate The Dental Obstacle Course

Do you want to Navigate The Dental Obstacle Course?  Time, fear and money.  These are the 3 most popular obstacles that keep people from going to the dentist regularly.  I want to address each obstacle and offer some solutions to each  one.

This first obstacle is time.  More specifically, the lack of it.  Work, school, kids, after-school activities….. you get the idea.  It’s a fast-paced world, and your time is limited.  That’s why our TenderCare Dental offices  have convenient locations throughout the Portland metro area with appointment times that fit your schedule.  We offer early morning, lunchtime, or late afternoon appointments Monday through Friday.  Whatever you need, we can help. 

The second is fear.  Let’s face it…. The only person you may be less excited to see than the dentist is your accountant at tax time or your attorney.  We get it.  Going to the dentist can be pretty scary.  But it doesn’t have to be anymore.  Now you can take a couple of small pills before your dental visit that will allow you to rest comfortably during your dental visit.  Best yet, after you get home and take a short name, you will most likely have little or no memory of your trip to the dentist.  Other alternatives like laughing gas and distraction devices like TV glasses will ease your fear and anxiety and keep you laughing and smiling through your dental appointment.

And finally, money.  Times are tough.  Money is tight, and nobody enjoys paying bills. But there are some things that money can’t buy, and teeth are one of them.  You only get 2 sets, and if you are older than 12, the teeth in your mouth right now are the only one’s you’ve got left, so take care of them.  To help you get the most bang for your buck,  we accept most major insurances, accept payment plans, and offer senior citizen discounts and discounts for prepayment of your dental treatment.Navigate The Dental Obstacle Course
