The very thought of the dentist can make the toughest among us cringe. But even the most nervous mouths will leave our dental chairs smiling.
Good habits at home will help keep your teeth healthy - and so will visiting your dentist twice a year.
Dentists recommend we brush for 2 minutes 2 times a day. Most people brush for only 45 to 70 seconds a day!
Regular dental check-ups are the best way to prevent cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer through early detection. Plus, routine visits can protect your overall physical health - issues in the mouth, like bleeding gums, can be a sign of diabetes or heart problems.
By seeing your dentist regularly, you'll:
- Catch issues before they become problems: Dentists catch cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer in early, treatable stages.
- Get shiny, super clean teeth: Dental hygienists remove hardened tartar (calculus) and plaque that you can't remove at home.
- Keep your dental work in great shape: Dentists inspect existing fillings and crowns to make sure they're holding up
- Save money: Routine, preventive care is a whole lot cheaper than emergency treatments for infections or broken teeth.
