Why Regular Check-ups are Essential

A birdseye view of a modern dental clinic and dental chair.Many of us know the importance of having a regular dental check-up, however, it’s not uncommon for many people to also put off booking their next appointment.

In our latest post, we take a look at a few of the reasons why regular dental check-ups are important for the health of your mouth.

Kick Bad Habits

During your dental check-up, your dentist will carry out a variety of checks and will be able to spot damage to your teeth that you may not have noticed yourself. During these check-ups your dentist may be able to spot signs that relate to brushing your teeth too hard, grinding or clenching your jaw. Additionally, there may be signs of staining from smoking, red wine or coffee. Being aware of the effect of these habits can often help you change them for the better. What’s more, your dentist will be able to provide you with helpful tips to tackle these habits.

Oral Cancer Detection

During the initial stages, mouth cancer does not always cause any noticeable symptoms

Your dentist is highly trained to spot the signs of oral cancer to ensure that you can seek treatment quickly.

With regular checkups, as advised by your dentist, you will be able to keep the health of your mouth in check and spot any issues that arise quickly.

Plaque, Tartar and Cavities

Even if you have a strict brushing routine, it can be difficult to reach all areas in your mouth where plaque can form.

As plaque builds up in hard to reach areas, it hardens and turns into tartar, which can then begin to erode away at the teeth and cause cavities. Once cavities are formed, you will need to seek treatment from your dentist to fill them.

Regular cleans from a hygienist will keep plaque at bay and mean that your entire mouth feels the benefits of a regular thorough clean.
