Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Think about it this way: your mouth is the gateway to your internal body. If it’s unhealthy, studies show that you’re at an increased risk for developing conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. A simple dental checkup and cleaning every six months goes a long way towards protecting you from these complications.
Cleanings take care of hard-to-brush bacteria that would otherwise grow and spread, potentially resulting in cavities and gum disease. With regular checkups, we can spot early warning signs for oral conditions, enabling us to address the issue before it causes serious problems. Taking the time to prevent oral harm from occurring in the first place will save you time, money, and discomfort overall!
