Regular dental visits are an important part of maintaining good oral health. It allows your dentist to keep track of your oral health and catch any problems early before they become more serious. You can also get a professional cleaning during your visits, which can remove plaque and tartar that at-home brushing and flossing may miss. It helps prevent cavities and gum disease. Visiting your dentist regularly also gives you the chance to ask questions and learn more about how to care for your teeth and gums.
