During your dental check-up, your dentist checks your teeth and gums for any signs of potential problems. This helps them perform preventive care programs before the issue progresses and compromises their oral health. Routine dental visits also help to provide early treatment for tooth decay and prevent it from occurring. Over time, food debris may get stuck between your teeth, resulting in plaque buildup. Without addressing it, it can later cause decay and, eventually, cavities. Your dentist can advise and recommend how to keep your oral health or give tips on improving your dental hygiene care routine. Optimising your oral health can reflect on your physical body and improve your life.
