The team at Riverside Dental Group in California is here for you when you have emergency dental needs, restorative work, and many other treatments in between. Although we are here for you during your urgent care needs, it’s important that you see us before emergencies happen as well.
It’s generally recommended that you see your dentist at least twice a year, or more often as necessary. However, an estimated one third of adults in the US skip these visits altogether. This can result in common dental problems becoming serious issues for your oral health. In today’s blog, we’re here to remind you to come in for your dental checkups!
A Cleaning Can Help Remove Plaque
Your dental checkup includes a thorough cleaning of your smile. The hygienist will use special tools to remove plaque from your teeth and polish your pearly whites so that bacteria can not stick to the surface. During this cleaning, your dentist may be able to spot areas that are sensitive or abnormal and can be further examined with X-rays or other images. It’s important that you go to the dentist regularly, even if you believe your smile is healthy, because there could be underlying issues that have not shown symptoms yet.
Your dental benefits may expire by the end of the year depending on your insurance. With September just around the corner, this means that there are only a few months left for you to use your benefits before you lose them. If you haven’t had your second checkup of the year, this is a great time to get this done.
Biannual Examinations Spot Potential Problems Early
Cavities can begin eroding your enamel, but you may not notice them yourself until your tooth begins to ache. When you come in for your biannual checkup, your dentist will thoroughly examine your oral cavity and check for signs of decay and more. They can help reverse early signs of decay by removing plaque buildup or applying fluoride treatment.
If a cavity has occurred, a dental filling can be scheduled promptly to restore your tooth before any further damage can occur. You may also not know the signs of gingivitis, and the infection can continue to progress without detection. Twice-yearly examinations can help prevent these issues from turning into more severe problems that will need extensive treatments in the future.
