Keeping your teeth clean helps prevents gingivitis and keeps gum disease under control.
Keeping your teeth clean by way of a professional cleaning helps prevent gingivitis and keep gum disease under control. When the dentist checks your teeth, minor and major problems are noted to either watch or treat. Similarly, x-rays allow dental professionals to find hidden problems.
By having these procedures done on a regular basis, you are investing in the future of your mouth. Keeping the calculus (tarter) from forming on your teeth is a daily battle. But if that build up is not removed by a professional regularly, calculus will cause gingivitis and gum disease.
The regular maintenance of a professional cleaning helps avoid the more expensive treatment cost of fighting gum disease.
By finding a cavity or other problem early, treatment is usually limited and dentist until a problem is obvious usually leads to more involved treatment which is more expensive.
To provide proof as to why a cleaning, exam and x-rays are a bargain, let's look at two scenarios. A cavity is found between your teeth on x-rays taken today. A filling is scheduled in the near future and the problem is resolved.
If however you only visit the dentist when you have pain or every couple years for a checkup, then chances are the cavity described before continues to grow until it is very large. Removal of the decay and repairing the tooth could involve a root canal, build-up, and crown. The cost for these last three items is over ten times the cost of a routine check-up.
After reading these two scenarios, it is obvious that by investing a little time and money on a regular basis you are probably preventing major problems and therefore major expenses.
I hope to hear from you soon to schedule your dental cleaning and examination.
