Skipping dental checkups and cleanings can harm your dental health. During checkups, dentists can detect and prevent problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Regular appointments help you achieve good oral hygiene. Skipping cleanings can cause plaque and tartar buildup, leading to more severe issues.
If you have to miss a cleaning and checkup appointment, be sure to reschedule it as soon as possible to avoid any potential issues or problems.
