Why visiting your dentist regularly is a good idea

As dentists we always try and remind everyone to come visit us regularly. And by regularly we mean, once every six months (at least). But did you know that visiting us to get your chompers checked is one of the best things that you can do for yourself? Here’s why:

Professional Checkup

Whether you’re visiting for a regular checkup or want to have something looked at (one of your teeth might be coming lose or you’re experiencing pain in one of your molars), getting a professional dental opinion on the state of your oral health, beats guesswork every time. Plus, getting early advice on future problems might save you more money and grief in the long run.

Effective Cleaning

Brushing and flossing at home, no matter how diligently you stick to your regimen, isn’t going to clean everything. You might rid your teeth of plaque but you won’t be able to get rid of tartar. A dental professional, using special tools, will be able to do this for you. It’s called scaling and it’s something that you want for your teeth at least twice a year.

Your Questions Answered

If you love your teeth, chances are you might have some questions about them. Who better to ask than your dentist? Get your answers straight from your dentists, so you know these will be right for your mouth and your dental health. Don’t simply follow advice from untrained individuals or even those you read on the internet (even this one, which is why we still advice you to come over for a visit).
