Routine Visits to the Dentist Will Help Keep Your Oral Health in Check

We all know that our teeth are one of the most important parts of our bodies. Why not, when they are the key element to a dazzling smile, and who doesn’t want one of those? But, in order to make sure that your smile is perfect you should have a regular check-up, because even though your smile may look good to you there may be serious underlying problems. These can have a prominent effect on the teeth and ruin your smile later on.

The routine dental visit

When you have finished eating, plaque starts to build up on the teeth within 15 minutes. If this is not removed thoroughly and effectively then it can lead to tooth decay, which will flourish if not treated correctly. Tooth decay is the most common of all disorders and, believe it or not, is second only to the common cold. It is caused due to the acid of the plaque left on the teeth liquefying the enamel and this then leads to cavities (holes) in the teeth, which result in tooth decay. These cavities can be painless and remain undetected at first but can result in the nerve and blood vessels in the tooth being destroyed. Ultimately, it can result in the loss of your tooth and a great deal of pain.

Prevention

If you go for regular dental check-ups then this can be avoided, because cavities can be detected in their early stages during a routine check-up, as they may show up on x-rays before they are even detectable to the naked eye. There are other issues as well, such as periodontitis and gingivitis, which can occur by not treating your teeth properly. You may not even be aware of them until it is too late. So make sure you make regular visits to your dentist to keep your teeth in check, because you don’t want to lose that wonderful smile now do you?

Why a Check-Up in Chepstow Could Save Your Teeth

Many people dread going to the dentist, even for a simple check-up. However, dental checks are really important and they really can save your teeth. With regular checks, we can keep an eye out for warning signs and ensure you get treatment as quickly as possible in the event of problems arising.

About dental checks

Dental check-ups are short and painless and they can make all the difference when it comes to oral health. We advise all out patients, young and old, to have a check-up every 6 months in order to allow us to keep an eye out for symptoms of decay and gum disease and ensure patients are free from pain. Check-ups only last a few minutes and there’s nothing to worry about; your dentist will simply have a good look around your mouth, check your teeth and examine your gums. Your dentist will also have a chat with you about your general health and check that everything is going okay with your oral hygiene regime at home. They will also be happy to answer any questions and discuss any concerns you may have. If you have any dental problems or symptoms, your dentist will arrange another appointment so that you can receive the treatment you need. If you don’t have any problems and you’ve got a clean bill of oral health, we will look forward to seeing you again in another six months.

Nervous patients

We understand that for some patients, even the thought of having a check-up can be daunting, so we offer treatment for nervous patients. We often see patients who haven’t been to a dentist for a long time and we do all we can to try and make every patient feel comfortable. We want to assure you that there is nothing to feel embarrassed or ashamed about and we promise that the check-up will be completely painless. Our dentists are on hand to provide effective and efficient check-ups for all our patients and we look forward to welcoming new patients, as well as catching up with old faces.

You and your Dental Check-up in Weston-super-Mare

585811_blogDental check-ups, it would be safe to say are seen as a bane and a pain in the neck to attend, which is why there are a lot of people that often skip them- how foolish! You may not see things going wrong in your mouth even though you think that by splashing your cash on the best products may be your get out of jail free card, but it doesn’t work like that. Now this is not to suggest that getting the best products for your mouth is wrong- it isn’t at all and stick with it, but you don’t always keep your eye on the ball and use them properly, and it only takes a short period of time for plaque to get in and do what it does best- wreck your teeth and gums. Your dentist will spot issues like this and treat them accordingly, and then give you a thorough spit and polish before setting you on your way. Before you go off though, utilise this time to chat about anything with your dentist, because the modern dentist can help you with not just aspects in your mouth, but with health issues as well. If you want further advice on how to use your time at a check-up, call-up Clifton Dental of Bristol; they are experts in all areas of dentistry and operate in the town of Weston-super-Mare.

Checking-up with your dentist in Swindon

585804_blogDental check-ups are just as important to your oral health and hygiene as brushing and flossing your teeth. You may think you have mastered the art of caring for your teeth, but things can break-out and go wrong pretty quickly in your mouth, which is where your dentist can step in and save the day for you. At a check-up, an x-ray and a probe can assess you for anything going wrong and then it can be fixed straight away. Your dentist can also give you a thorough scale and polish if needed to get into places that your personal cleaning can’t. However, you shouldn’t just see the dentists as a repair shop; also see it as an opportunity to discuss any troubles you may have. Modern dentists cover everything from diet, your general health, cosmetic dentistry, to phobias, oral hygiene, smoking and drinking. Use this time well and you should continue to have healthy teeth and gums for the rest of your life.
