There is a steady stream of reminders in the newspaper, on TV, and radio telling you to see your Parramatta dentist on a regular basis. You are told of the importance, but often you are not told why it is important. Knowing the reasons why regular dental exams and cleanings are so important might help those that are wary of a dentist.
Although there are people who may need more care or fewer visits to the dentist, the accepted rule is twice a year. The primary reason for regular dental visits is simple; to ensure your teeth and gums are in excellent condition. Of course, you brush and floss at home, but even the best care cannot do the same job that is done by the hygienist or dentist.
The trouble with dental problems is the fact that they often have to be highly advanced before they become visible or result in pain. If a diseased tooth is left until it reaches this point, in many cases the only solution is to extract it. When you see your dentist regularly, the dentist picks up any small problems that are not evident to you. When your Parramatta dentist spots a dental anomaly, he or she can take immediate corrective action. The dentist may also spot a gum problem or suggest orthodontics. Regular checkups can also avoid serious infections that can quickly worsen, saving you from unnecessary pain, costs, and complications.
