Many people don\u2019t feel comfortable in the dentist\u2019s office. Their fear is translated in missed appointments, even though they might just be regular cleanings and check-ups. In time, this attitude interferes with an early diagnosis of oral pathologies and will entail more complex and invasive treatments. Prevention is the best way of achieving a healthy mouth and the first step is regularly visiting your dentist. But how many times a year are necessary? Today, in Dr. Joan Ramis Matas Dental Clinic, we talk about annual dental check-ups.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why do we have to visit the dentist regularly? Even if we have a healthy mouth and good hygiene habits, it\u2019s inevitable that our teeth accumulate dental plaque. Dental plaque is a bacterial mass that grows feeding on the food we introduce in our mouths.<\/p>\n
Even though we can remove most of the plaque with regular brushing, it will accumulate in the smallest and harder-to-reach gaps. With time it will harden and become tartar, which is much harder to eliminate.<\/p>\n
Regularly visiting the dentists it\u2019s the only way to keep dental plaque under control and stay alert against the various pathologies it leads to. Tooth Decay and Gum Disease, for example, are easily treatable if detected on time, but can have very serious consequences if left undetected.<\/p>\n
Some oral pathologies have subtle symptoms; with which it is easy to live without being fully aware of the danger. Only a dentist can have a full picture of the health status of your mouth and help you obtain the preventive treatments that reinforce it.<\/p>\n
Why is it recommended to go to the dentist at least every 6 months? This rule of thumb is relatively new and was created as a way to make patients consider a visit to the dentist not only when they had a developed oral problem. However, each case is particular.<\/p>\n
Some people could be fine with less than two visits a year, but for the majority of us this minimum is not enough. Some profiles like pregnant women, smokers or diabetics are much more inclined to certain oral pathologies. If on top of that you have (or have had) gum disease, you risk is very high.<\/p>\n
