Nilo A. Hernandez, Jr., DDS, DICOI, Owner of Smilecreator Of Naples Talks About The Millions Of Americans Who Fear Going To The Dentist.

Nilo Hernandez, Jr., DDS, DICOI, best-selling co-author of the book, The Will To Win, with Brian Tracy, and owner of the Smilecreator of Naples, writes about the frightening and very possibly deadly results that can result from having a phobia of going to the dentist.

 

Naples, FL, October 31, 2019: Owner and CEO of Smilecreator of Naples, Dr. Nilo Hernandez, Jr., DDS, has posted a new article on his website entitled, “A Fear Of Going To The Dentist Can Lead To Many Frightening Diseases,” in which Dr. Hernandez reveals the deadly and scary diseases that are associated with periodontal disease.

 

Dr. Nilo HernandezDr. Hernandez states, “October is the month when Americans look forward to the very last day of the month. On this day children of every age (read adults) love to dress up as scary ghosts, goblins and witches among other less frightening creatures. The children go from door to door ‘trick-or-treating’ gathering up sacks full of candy.”

 

Dr. Hernandez writes, “Ah, you might think that Halloween is a dentists dream come true. Well, for some of us this is truly a nightmare.” He continues elaborating, “While we human will probably never completely kick our addiction to sugar, I’ll tell you one thing that I find more frightening than Halloween. It is the fact that between 30 and 40 million people in this country, while they love to be spooked in so many other ways, will avoid going to the dentist out of fear.”

 

“Fear of going to the dentist,” says Dr. Hernandez, “can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. And here’s the most frightening fact of all.  The correlations between a multitude of other diseases and periodontal disease are getting stronger. And even though a cause-and-effect relationship has not yet been proven, research has indicated that periodontal disease increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis, respiratory diseases and a variety of cancers. Periodontal disease can also exacerbate existing heart conditions. “

 

According to Dr. Hernandez, “In this case, fear can be a real killer. Because, if you don’t regularly see the dentist, health problems, such as hypertension, diabetes, oral cancers, kidney failure and heart disease may not be discovered until they’re in a more advanced stage.” He adds, “Yes, today dentists are more likely to discover the individual’s likelihood of getting those diseases base on the bacteria in the mouth and whether or not one has periodontal disease.”
