Routine Visit To Your Dentist – Why Is It Important?

  • Written by NewsServices.com



Many people schedule regular health check-ups for their bodies to know if they are suffering from any health issues. Dr. Ben Ma, a Dentist at Endeavour Hills Dental Clinic says that just like how it is essential to have a full-body check-up scheduled once every six months, it is necessary to get a dental check-up too. A visit to your
dentist in Port Melbourne once every six months will help you maintain your oral health. A regular check-up by your dentist will detect any gum disease or tooth decay at an early stage, thus allowing you to seek treatment at the right time. 

Benefits of A Routine Dental Check-up  

A routine check-up by your dentist will offer the following benefits:  

  1. Removal of plaque and tartar  

When you visit your dentist for a routine check-up, they are likely to check for plague and tartar build-up. If found, they will clean your teeth to remove them from your mouth. Plague and tartar, if left in the mouth for too long, can cause gum diseases. Remember, at-home oral hygiene products cab clean plaque and tartar only about 3mm below the gumline. However, with professional dental tools, your dentist will be able to remove plaque or tartar that has been set in deep below your gumline. 

  1. Detecting gum disease at an early stage 

It is usually challenging to spot gum diseases at an early stage. Since their symptoms are mild, they may go unnoticed a long way until the problem becomes significant. A regular dental check-up will help your dentist detect any gum issue early and suggest the proper treatment to prevent the problem from increasing. If left untreated for long, Gum diseases may lead to problems like bone loss, tooth loss, or gum recession.    

  1. Better advice on maintaining oral health 

One of the most beneficial things about visiting your dentist once every six months is getting tips on improving your oral hygiene. Since it is a routine dental check-up, your dentist will check your mouth thoroughly and make suggestions to help improve your oral health. For example, if the dentist notices too much plague build-up, they may share some brushing techniques that will help clean your teeth better. Also, they may recommend special toothpaste or toothbrushes if your teeth require them.   

  1. Analysing your bite  

A routine dental check-up also includes biting analyses. Your dentist will check for alignment issues with your bite, which may help them understand if you have bruxism or sleep apnea. If your dentist finds a problem with your bite, they will be able to suggest appropriate preventive measures or treatments required to rectify the issue. Detection of bite issues at an early stage can help the dentist find the root cause and treat the problem early for lesser pain and a better night’s sleep.  

Since everyone lives a busy life, it is normal for you to forget or skip a regular dental check-up. But if you keep in mind the various benefits one single check-up session offers, you will feel motivated to visit your dentist once every six months. You may save the date for your appointment in your phone’s calendar or note it in your diary.
