On a similar note, it may seem daunting, or you may be confused as to why you need to go to the dentist this often. There are, in fact, many different reasons why you will want to stop by your dentist after we go over some of these reasons.

Oral Cancer Detection

As April is World Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we think it is appropriate that this is highlighted in this blog. By going for regular visits and getting X-rays as appropriate, your dentists can detect oral cancer. While this may seem quite scary, it is important to remember that the faster that it is detected, and the earlier it is treated, the better.

Cavity Detection

Cavities, while they may not seem like a huge deal, can cause other issues for you. Depending on the size of the cavity, you will be treated differently, but if you allow the cavity to continue its growth, you may be in trouble. Abscesses and tooth decay can have a lot of negative effects, including pain and more expensive procedures.

Plaque Buildup

The reason why people go to the dentist so often for a cleaning is to do exactly that?get a cleaning. While your dentist will also be examining your teeth for other issues, they will be removing plaque buildup, leaving your teeth squeaky clean!

Gum disease affects many individuals, as it is very common. With proper dental care, you may not necessarily have an issue with gum disease. Making sure to floss, getting cleanings regularly, and brushing twice a day can all help to decrease the chances of gum disease or early signs of it.
