Is It Necessary to Visit a Dentist If You do not Have Any Oral Issues?


Posted on 8/21/2023 by Fern Creek Dentistry
Is It Necessary to Visit a Dentist If You do not Have Any Oral Issues?Your dental health should be your priority regardless of your age. Do you know regular dental visits are vital to improving oral health? According to the American Dental Association, considering dental checkups every six months is a good way to prevent oral issues. However, many people ignore regular dental visits until they encounter oral issues. It is good to understand that dental checkups are necessary even if you don't have any oral condition. Here are 3 reasons why you should prioritize visiting a dentist regularly:

Early detection of oral issues


Some oral issues do not present their symptoms at an early stage. They can therefore progress silently and become life-threatening. For instance, oral cancer can cause difficulty eating and swallowing and change the appearance of your mouth if not treated early. Thankfully dental checkups help to detect oral issues that are invisible. A dentist will perform X-rays to examine your teeth and gums. This helps to detect cavities, oral thrush, decay, cancer, gum disease, and other conditions at the early stages.

Dental cleaning


Do you brush or floss your teeth regularly? Even with the best cleaning techniques, your toothbrush will likely miss some parts of your mouth, which can result in plaque buildup. When plaque hardens, it becomes challenging to remove without a professional. Luckily, dental checkups involve oral examination and deep cleaning. During the appointment, a dentist removes plaque and tartar before they become destructive.

Maintain good oral hygiene


Many things can harm your oral health. Some of which you may not think that they can cause issues. For instance, biting your nails or chewing ice can destroy your teeth' enamel, leading to decay and cavities. When you schedule a dental checkup, the dentist will find the root cause of oral issues and advise you on how to improve your oral hygiene.
