Say yes to dental visits!

Having an appointment with a dentist every six months may not be something that everyone looks forward to, but it's an appointment that one should keep. A dental examination by your dentist helps in keeping your mouth and gums healthy.

Why you need regular dental check-up's:

• Oral cancer detection

  Your dentist will be able to see any signs that you could be at risk for oral cancer.  It affects millions of people each year. It is safe to get tested and treated early.

• Preventing plaque, tartar, and conventional cavities

  Even if you brush and floss daily, there may be plaque and tartar that you can't get off your teeth. Your dentist can advise you on necessary procedures to remove tartar and prevent cavities.

• Detecting gum disease

  With gum disease, you will most likely have swelling and soreness in the affected areas, and sometimes your gums will bleed as well. Early detection by your dentist can help you avoid pain and swelling.

• Finding hidden problems through X-Rays

  A critical part of every dentist visit is to get the teeth and jaw X-ray. These types of images allow for a behind-the-scenes look at what's going on inside the mouth.

• Check your overall oral health

  Your dentist will help make you aware of any issues that cause a hindrance to keep your mouth healthy and save you from high costs later down the road.
