Why Regular Dental Visits Matter:

Routine dental appointments stand as the foundation of preventive health care, often overlooked by many for their significant benefits. Within the welcoming environment of Jensen Family Dental, we stress the significant influence regular checkups have on both your dental and general health. Let us show you why booking your next visit is essential:

Prevention of Gum Disease

Regular check-ups can help in early detection and treatment of gum disease, which is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Early detection means easier treatment and better outcomes.

Cavity Detection and Treatment

Even with diligent brushing and flossing, you might still develop cavities. Complete oral exams allow for early detection and treatment, preventing more severe problems down the line.

Oral Cancer Detection

Dentists can screen for oral cancer, which is highly curable if diagnosed early. This is a critical check-up component, as early signs of oral cancer might not be noticeable to you.

Keeping Bad Habits in Check

Certain habits such as smoking, chewing ice, biting nails, grinding teeth, and eating particularly sticky or hard sweets can impact your oral health. A dentist can check for any damage caused by these or other habits that you may not have noticed. Being informed about specific destructive behaviors allows you to change or alter your lifestyle to prevent further damage.

Plaque, Calculus, and Cavities

Even with careful brushing and flossing, small areas in the mouth may be missed. Once plaque builds up, it becomes more difficult to remove, solidifying, and turning into calculus, which is extremely difficult to get rid of without professional help. Regular dental cleanings prevent plaque from eroding teeth and or creating holes (cavities) in them, and prevent calculus from destroying the bone and gum tissue creating periodontal (gum) disease. 

A Brighter Smile

Dental cleanings can remove most tobacco, coffee, and tea stains, leading to a whiter and brighter smile.

Fresh Breath

Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent persistent bad breath. Even if you brush and floss regularly, getting a dental cleaning is a great way to keep your mouth healthy and odor-free.

Overall Health

There is a significant link between one’s oral health and overall health. Inflammation in the mouth can lead to inflammation in other areas of the body, and vice versa. Regular dental visits can detect early signs of some diseases, like diabetes because certain inflammatory medical conditions can show oral manifestations.

Cost Savings

By preventing oral diseases or catching them in their early stages, regular dental visits can save you money in the long run by avoiding costly dental procedures.
