Do you know The benefits of dental check-ups far outweigh any minor inconveniences caused while booking an appointment ? It will help you decide the best course of action to take with your oral care.
Why we suggest getting a checkup every 6 months?
It’s because regular dental visits are very important for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. In between these examinations, it’s important that you work to keep our teeth and gums clean and healthy.
Putting off regular checkups, or refusing to go to the dentist at all, often leads to complications, pain, and expenses that could have easily been avoided. For example, easily treatable dental issues such as decay and cavities when left unchecked can affect other teeth, cause gum problems or lead to tooth extraction.
