How can you be sure your smile is totally free of any possible problems? Is being free of painful symptoms proof enough that you are in good oral health? If you want to stay informed about the health of your smile, you should set up regular dental exams with your dentist. Semiannual visits will give you ongoing feedback about the state of your smile. These visits also provide your dentist with a chance to recognize a problem, and recommend the appropriate response before your condition worsens. In addition to reviewing your oral health, you will also receive a professional teeth cleaning, which will help you keep your teeth safe from problems.
Your Dentist Can Recognize When Something Is Wrong (Even When You Believe Everything Is Fine)
It might be odd to think that something as potentially harmful as a cavity can escape your notice, but decay may not be painful at first. Pronounced tooth pain and sensitivity can certainly accompany a cavity, but these symptoms can be a sign that decay has reached the interior of your tooth. At that point, you will need a root canal in order to fully eliminate the threat. Your dentist can recognize when a cavity has formed, and they can offer support by removing the decay, and replacing the lost material with a dental filling
Enjoying Superior Preventive Care Thanks To Professional Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings offer important help in your fight against tooth decay. When your hygienist performs a cleaning, they can target areas that are harder to reach, to make sure they are free of bacteria and other debris. If you have tartar, a hardened form of plaque, your hygienist can remove it. Without that professional cleaning, tartar can persist even as you try to dislodge the material by brushing and flossing.
