Just under 60% of people admit to lying to their dentist, and honestly, we get it.

Whether it’s skipping floss, missing regular check-ups, or pretending you definitely don’t drink soda, most of us have stretched the truth in that dentist chair at some point.

We know dentist visits can bring up a mix of emotions:

  • Nerves
  • Embarrassment
  • Even Dread 

In fact, surveys show that nearly 1 in 3 people avoid the dentist altogether due to fear or anxiety. And the longer you put it off, the more overwhelming it feels.

That’s where Tartar End comes in. 

We’re not here to judge, we’re here to help.

Our formula is designed to break down tartar at home, so even if you’ve been dodging the dentist, you can still show your teeth some love.

So, Why Do People Avoid The Dentist?

No one’s ever really excited to go to the dentist.

For a lot of people, just thinking about sitting in that chair is enough to send their stress levels through the roof. But it’s not just fear of pan that keeps people away.

Here are a few of the real reasons why people avoid the dentist:

Embarrassment

When you haven’t been in a while, it’s easy to feel judged. 

Whether it’s plaque build-up, bleeding gums, or just a stretch of skipped appointments, a lot of people worry about being shamed, even if the dentist never says a word.

The Cost

Dental care can be expensive, especially without insurance. According to Forbes Health, a routine cleaning alone averages $129 out-of-pocket, and more involved treatments can be significantly higher. 

That alone makes many people delay treatment until something’s really wrong, which only makes the problem (and the bill) worse.

Anxiety or Past Trauma

A lot of people have had negative or even outright painful dental experiences that left a lasting mark, whether it was:

  • A rough procedure
  • A cold dentist 

That kind of anxiety sticks around and can make future visits feel like a huge emotional hurdle. Dental Anxiety is real and it doesn’t just vanish over time.

In fact, for many adults, it actually gets worse the longer they put it off.

Life Gets in The Way

Between work deadlines, wanting to spend time with family, and attempting to have some sort of social life, finding time for the dentist isn’t always the easiest thing to do.

It’s one of those things that keeps getting bumped down the to-do list. One appointment turns into a few months…then a year… then suddenly you’re sitting there wondering how on earth it’s been that long.

It happens, and you’re definitely not the only one.

The Problem With Putting Off The Dentist

The longer you avoid the dentist, the harder it gets to go back. Not just mentally, but physically, too. 

Plaque turns into tartar. Tartar leads to gum issues. Gum issues can lead to tooth loss. What starts as something small can quickly snowball into something serious (and expensive).

And here’s the kicker: tartar can’t be removed with regular brushing and flossing alone. Once it hardens on your teeth, you need professional help or a product specifically designed to break it down.

That’s why putting it off only makes the next visit more uncomfortable. More scraping. More sensitivity. More stress. It’s a vicious cycle, and it’s easy to feel stuck in it.
