Dentists Point Out Importance Of Oral Health
If there is something you are going to let go, don't let it be your oral health.
Your smile is something to be remembered by, and your internal health can be a direct reflection of the condition of your teeth.
So why pass on another dental visit? You might be ignoring bacteria that is causing infectious disease by not keeping up with your oral health.
You always learn the most when you actually go to your appointments.
I like to think that dentists treat each patient as if it is their first time to the office and that they may not be back for years.
Yes there is the population that has high respect for their teeth and treats them as an investment.
They may have veneers put in, gone through braces, and keep up with tooth whitening and routine visits.
But what about the people that can't afford "fancy" teeth? What about the people that have never seen a dentist? This is why your first visit has such a thorough treatment.
You entire oral history is recorded, x-rays of your bones and jaw are taken, you're checked for oral cancer, they look at your cheeks, gums, and lips, your bite is checked, and MORE.
They examine each individual tooth for cavities or decay and bacteria.
This is all done prior to a proper tooth cleansing.
This is where the dentist will inform patients about the importance of flossing and daily brushing.
They will show proper techniques for taking care of your teeth and answer any questions you may have.
Your visits are important for a number of reasons.
The status of your teeth can cause pain and affect your capability to chew and enjoy biting into food.
A dentist can spot a cavity and help end/avoid tooth decay, losing a tooth, gum disease, TMJ, and bad breath.
Having dental problems can affect your speech and self-esteem.
Generally people go for visits a suggested every six months.
This is not only to help fix and check for the aforementioned conditions, but it is to help prevent them.
Each trip to the dentist is packed with benefits and knowledge.
Your oral health IS important.
By avoiding checkups you could be ignoring bacteria and disease.
Losing your teeth and suffering from bad breath because of rotting is not anyone's first option.
See your dentist, ask about insurance, look into payment plans if needed, and take care of those teeth of yours!
