Importance of Regular Dental Visits

-

More than 20 years ago, examinations of people in Nigeria’s teeth were in pretty bad shape. Few people took good care of their teeth. There were no guidelines for how often you should see a dentist. There wasn’t a proactive approach to dentistry: many providers focused on fixing problems rather than preventing them. Dental and health organizations decided there was a need to set standards for preventive dentistry. They decided people should go to the dentist twice a year for checkups, and cleanings because cavities and gum disease are preventable. Whatever the origins, this has proven to be a useful rule of thumb for many people. Taking care of your teeth means more than brushing and flossing. For complete care, it’s important for a regular checkup and professional cleaning. The first step in this process is to find a dentist with whom you feel comfortable, and then schedule an appointment. We take a look at why regular visits are important to your oral health.
