Why Are Dental Checkups Important?

March 18, 2022

You might dislike going to the dentist so much that you just decide that you won't go to your annual checkups anymore. Well, this can cause a lot of problems with your oral hygiene. Dental check ups are very important and here are some of the reasons why.


Maintain Good Oral Health

Dental cleaning appointments ensure that you're keeping up with your oral hygiene. During these cleanings, your dentist will check all of your teeth to make sure they are healthy, strong, and clean at the end of your appointment. The cleanings will give your teeth that clean feeling and will remind you that you should be brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily. Your dentist can give you tons of tips on how you can maintain your oral health at these checkups as well.


Check for Oral Cancer

Any type of cancer is extremely serious and oral cancer can start in many different ways, but thankfully, it can be easily treatable if found early. This is why it is so important to continue to go to your routine checkups with your dentist. They can ensure you do not have any signs of oral cancer and you have nothing to worry about. If they do find any signs of oral cancer in your mouth during your check-up they can treat it easily in the early stages.


Prevent Plaque, Tartar, and Cavities

Plaque and tartar buildup can erode your teeth and cause cavities. Only a professional dentist can get rid of this buildup at routine cleanings. These routine dental checkups can help prevent any serious tooth problems from arising. These can be harmful to your oral health.


Prevent Gum Disease

According to the CDC, nearly 46% of all adults over the age of 30 show signs of gum disease. Along with the buildup of plaque and tartar, these can cause your gums to erode, causing gum disease. This will make the gums pull away from the teeth. This can cause you to have a sore mouth that is bleeding and swelling. This could potentially cause your teeth to come loose or fall out if you don't get this checked out and fixed as soon as possible. This makes dental checkups very important.
