Why You Should Never Skip Routine Dental Check-ups and Cleanings
At Natalie K. Provenzano DDS, Inc., we always want to ensure your smile looks and feels healthy. We offer routine dental exams and cleanings to detect, prevent, and treat oral problems before they advance into significant issues. Although brushing and flossing at home are important for dental hygiene, it is necessary to visit a dentist to remove stubborn dental calculus and identify any dental issues that may have gone unnoticed.
Why you shouldn’t miss routine dental check-ups
In today’s go-go-go society, you never seem to have enough time. So, essential things like routine dental appointments may fall behind. If there is anything that should give in your crowded schedule, let it not be your oral health. Your smile is the first thing people notice about you, so it should always be in great shape.
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy is simple. Diligently brush and floss your teeth daily and observe good oral habits, such as a healthy diet and avoiding smoking. Then, see a dentist at least twice annually to complement your at-home dental care.
Routine dental exams yield numerous benefits, including:
- Prevention: Prevention is the foundation of healthy teeth and gums. Regular dental cleanings remove accumulated plaque and tartar to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
- Early detection: During regular dental check-ups, we inspect your teeth, gums, and other oral structures to check for signs of cavities, gum disease, misalignment, oral cancer, and other abnormalities. Depending on your results, we devise an immediate treatment plan to restore your oral health before it’s too late.
- Stunning smile: Dental check-ups aren’t all about gum disease and cavities — they beautify your smile, too. Professional teeth cleaning removes surface stains and unsightly dental calculus to keep your smile looking its best.
- Protects your overall health: Ever heard of the mouth-body connection? Your mouth is the entry point to your entire body, so keeping it safe protects your overall well-being. A healthy mouth reduces the risk of systematic issues like heart disease, stroke, etc., attributed to poor oral health.
- Personalized oral health education: Dental exams provide an excellent opportunity to ask your dentist those nagging questions about your oral health. We provide customized advice on oral hygiene, proper nutrition, and oral care products to help you maintain a healthy smile.
