How you benefit
Everyone needs to have dental check-ups. The reason is simple: even if you brush and floss every day, you cannot see all the parts of your own mouth. For example, here is a list of things your dentist can see that you can't:
» Fillings, crowns and other repairs (or restorations) that are no longer in good shape
» Root cavities, or cavities that form when the gums pull away (or recede) from the teeth cavities around your fillings
» Tiny cracks (or fractures) in a tooth
» Wisdom teeth that are trapped (or impacted) in the gums
» Early signs of gum disease
» Early signs of oral cancer
» Signs of other problems that could affect your general health
How often you go for a check-up depends on YOUR dental health needs. The goal is to catch small problems early. For many people, this means a check-up every 6 months. Your dentist may suggest that you visit more or less often depending on how well you care for your teeth and gums, problems you have that need to be checked or treated, how fast tarter builds up on your teeth, and so on.
