Why You Should See Your Dentist

Why You Should See Your Dentist:

When you visit the dentist, you get more than clean, shiny teeth. Regular dental visits are a way to prevent dental disease and to check for signs of other diseases. If your mouth or neck do show any signs of disease, your dentist can help you get early treatment. Here’s how.

You can stop tooth decay from getting worse

Almost half of adults over 30 have gum disease

It may not hurt, and you may not even know you have it until it becomes a big problem. Gum disease is a main cause of tooth loss.
See your dentist if you notice any changes in your mouth, such as gums that are red, swollen or tender or that bleed when you brush or floss. Your dentist can tell you if you have gum disease. He or she can also help you get your gums healthy again.

Have whiter teeth and fresher breath

You may be missing a few areas when you brush and floss at home.
At your dental visit, a dentist or hygienist will clean your teeth to remove surface stains and any tartar buildup. He or she will also give you tips for cleaning your teeth and tongue at home.
Professional dental cleanings also help prevent gum disease.

For mouth and throat cancer screenings

The mouth can show if the body is not healthy

Even patients with dentures need an oral health checkup. Plus, over time, dentures can become loose because of changes in your gums and bones. Your dentist will make sure your gums are healthy, look for signs of cancer and check your dentures for proper fit.

At every exam, your dentist checks your mouth and neck for signs of disease. Your oral health is an important part of your overall health, so visit your dentist regularly.
