What are the benefits of going to the dentist regularly?  They can catch potentially life altering complications early or prevent them from happening!  So Choose the Best For Your Regular Dental Visits
Potential problems they can spot include the onset of gum disease and dental decay. When it comes to your oral health it is important you are proactive and seeing your dentist regularly so that they can catch any issues early, before they become a problem.In addition to getting your teeth as clean as possible, regular dental visits are chances for your dentist to spot signs of dental and oral health problems before they become more serious and difficult to treat. Certainly, dentists can catch and fill small cavities before they become bigger.
Why is it important to have a consistent teeth cleaning routine?
To keep your teeth healthy, it is important to remove dental plaque, a sticky, colorless film of bacteria. Plaque buildup can cause tooth decay and gum disease. Even teeth that already have fillings are at risk for tooth decay. Plaque can build up underneath a chipped filling and cause new decay.
Seven major signs of poor oral hygiene to looking out for include:
  • Bad breath.
  • Bleeding or swollen gums.
  • Dry mouth.
  • Tooth decay.
  • Tooth erosion.
  • Gum disease.
  • General health problems include diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, and dementia.

A fantastic article from the Cleveland Clinic sites:  What conditions are linked to oral health?

Research shows that gingivitis and periodontitis can contribute to certain health conditions, including:

  • Cardiovascular disease.
  • Stroke.
  • Endocarditis (infection of your heart’s inner lining).
  • Pneumonia.
  • Pregnancy complications, such as premature birth and low birth weight.

Conversely, there are certain health conditions that can have a negative impact on your teeth and gums, including:

  • Diabetes.
  • Osteoporosis.
  • HIV/AIDS.
  • Alzheimer’s disease.

If you or a loved one has any of the conditions listed above, ask your dentist how to promote and support overall health through proper oral hygiene.
