Why Dental Exams and Cleanings Are So Important
Good dental health starts with biannual dental exams and cleanings. Drs. Gina and Christopher Gomez and the staff of Gomez Family Dentistry in Pensacola, Florida, offer oral and dental health wellness tips to all their patients. Seeing your family dentist at least twice a year offers long-term benefits. Aside from correcting any abnormalities or imperfections, your dentist can provide preventive care that reduces your risk of disease or decay. Scheduling your biannual dental appointments should be your first priority.
Builds a rapport with your dentist
Seeing your dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings helps to alleviate fear and builds a rapport based on trust and confidence. It’s a time for you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have. Get to know your dentists and let them get to know you. You need to find a dentist you are comfortable with and enjoy working with.
Monitors dental and oral health
Regular visits allow your dental team to closely monitor any changes that may occur when it comes to your teeth, gums, and other soft tissues in your mouth. They will be able to offer possible solutions to treat those problems and prevent them from reoccurring in the future. If started at an early age, biannual dental visits will dramatically improve a child’s long-term dental health.
Cleanings eliminate plaque and debris
During your regular dental visit, your dentist will thoroughly clean your teeth. This process eliminates hidden debris that is lodged between your teeth and in the tiny crevices and removes plaque that builds up near the gum line. Cleaning your teeth goes a long way toward preventing tooth decay and keeping your teeth healthy and bright. During your biannual visits, your dentist will show you problem areas you can focus on when you are brushing your teeth every day.
Finds small issues and imperfections in their earliest stages
With regular visits, your dentist is able to identify issues very early on and take corrective action to prevent them from getting worse. Without these visits twice a year, small imperfections can become major problems that can eventually result in damage to your teeth or the loss of your teeth altogether. Protecting your teeth is important and will prevent long-term damage.
