When Was The Last Time You Visited?
Has it been more than 9 months since your last visit? Have you been putting off a treatment you know you need? Time slips by, and it’s easy to forget about scheduling a dental appointment. However, waiting too long between appointments puts you at higher risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and more serious issues. Keep reading for more information.
Routine Care is More Important Than You Think
Regular dental exams and cleanings and a well-rounded at-home oral hygiene routine help keep your smile clean and bright. We can spot problems earlier when you visit us every 9 months, lowering your risk of
- tooth decay,
- gum disease,
- tooth loss, and
- oral infection.
Delaying dental appointments increases the likelihood you’ll need intervention, such as a filling or root canal therapy, especially if you have been avoiding the dentist for a long time.
Prevention
Dentistry focuses on prevention more than most healthcare professions because we know that having a healthy mouth lowers your risk for various chronic diseases. Dentists certainly spend a lot of time treating oral health problems, but they dedicate just as much, if not more, time to keeping these problems from happening at all.
A Healthy Mouth and Body
The benefits of maintaining your oral health extend beyond your teeth and mouth. Poor oral health has been linked to serious health conditions, including
- heart disease,
- diabetes, and
- respiratory issues.
Scheduling and keeping your oral hygiene appointments protects your general health as well.
