WHY A REGULAR DENTAL CHECKUP IS IMPORTANT?

 



Although it is true that a twice-yearly dental check-up is necessary to maintain your gums and teeth healthy, dental appointments should be arranged based on the habits, oral hygiene and medical circumstances of each individual. This is the primary reason for discussing with your dentist and scheduling your next cleaning after each consultation.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO VISIT THE DENTIST? Even if you take good care of your teeth and gums at home, you should see a dentist on a regular basis. Your dentist will look for problems that you can see or feel, as well as those that you can't see or feel. Many dental problems, such as cavities or the early stages of gum disease, are not visible or unpleasant until they are advanced.

People with a higher risk of dental illness and problems may need to see the dentist every three months or more. This category of people  with higher risk includes:

  • Women who are pregnant 
  • People who smoke on a daily basis
  • When persons with a weak immune system get infected with microorganisms, they have an unpleasant experience.
  • People with diabetics 
  • People experiencing gum diseases 
  • People who tend to get a build-up plaque or cavities and tartar
