Importance Of Regular Dental Visits

premier • May 19, 2020

In order to stay in good health, it is advised to see a doctor at least once a year. This same rule applies to the dentist as well. Here are our top two reasons to regularly visit the dentist.

Early Detection

Seeing a doctor on a regular basis allows for early detection of any potential issues.  It is recommended to visit the dentist every six months, so at least twice a year. Research shows that more than 90 percent of health issues have early oral symptoms. This means that your dentist might be able to detect serious health issues before they get worse. Some of these diseases include,

  • Diabetes
  • Leukemia
  • Oral Cancer
  • Pancreatic Cancer
  • Heart Disease
  • Kidney Disease

Deep Cleaning

Regular dental visits not only allow your dentist to monitor your health but for you to receive proper cleaning. Your mouth is one of the most common ways diseases and bacteria enter your body. Keeping it clean helps prevent infection. Brushing and flossing can help keep your teeth clean and prevent plaque , but tartar needs to be removed by a professional. Dental hygienists and assistants have different tools that can clean your mouth in ways a toothbrush can’t. By visiting your dentist twice a year, you are ensuring your teeth get a proper deep clean.
