Keeping your teeth and gums healthy entails more than brushing and flossing. Regular dental visits for a check-up and professional cleaning play an important part in good oral healthcare and your overall wellbeing. Not too long ago many dentists concentrated on fixing problems instead of preventing them. Those days are long gone, and good dentistry today places a strong emphasis onpreventive dental care, including regular examinations and cleaning. It may be tempting to neglect regular dental visits because of a busy lifestyle, but ensuring your teeth and gums are kept in good shape will avoid expensive procedures down the road. The American Dental Association(ADA) recommends dental visits every six months. People with a high risk of dental disease who should see their dentist more often include women during pregnancy, smokers, diabetics and those with a low level of immunity to bacterial infections. We can detect issues you may be unaware of. Many dental issues – including gum disease, cavities and oral cancer – don’t cause pain or become visible until they are in dangerous and more-advanced stages.
