Seven Good Reasons For Seeing Your Dentist Regularly When everything seems to be going well with your teeth – no bleeding, pain or visible cavities – you might be tempted to skip your regular check-up. Don't! Your dental and overall health absolutely depends on regular cleanings and dentist evaluations. Here's why... 1. Periodontal (Gum) Disease affects three out of four adults at some time in their lives. It doesn’t necessarily hurt and you may not be even aware that you have it until an advanced stage. Regular dental visits are essential for detecting periodontal disease before the gums and the supporting bone are irreversibly damaged. 2. During a dental examination, your dentist can screen for precancerous changes in the oral tissues and thus help detect cancer at a stage when it can be more successfully treated. 3. Regular checkups are important because some diseases or medical conditions have signs that can appear in the mouth. Heart Disease, diabetes, nutritional and vitamin deficiencies and hormonal irregularities are some examples. 4. Detecting tooth decay early can save time, money and your teeth! Your dentist will check for decay, including secondary decay around old fillings and decay of tooth roots, which become exposed with age or due to periodontal disease. 5. Even if you do a thorough job brushing and cleaning between your teeth each day, your teeth need and deserve a regular professional cleaning at the dental office. Professional cleaning helps remove stains and tartar from your teeth, helps prevent gum disease and keeps your smile looking great! 6. If you wear dentures, it’s important for your dentist to periodically check them for proper fit. Although they were made to fit precisely, dentures can become loose due to naturally occurring changes in your gums and bones. 7. Because of the many advances in dentistry – such as bonding, veneers, enamel shaping and bleaching – you no longer have to settle for stained, chipped or misshapen teeth. Call us today at (501) 455-6100 to schedule your checkup or click here to request an appointment.
