Save Money and Pain in the Long Run

Millions of Australians are avoiding going to the dentist for a number of reasons. They might do so because they have other plans or they simply think they are saving money. If there’s nothing glaringly wrong with your oral health, why should you bother? The fact of the matter is skipping routine visits can spell major trouble for your long-term oral health and even your systemic health. Some of the reasons to visit a dentist every 6 months, even if nothing is wrong with your teeth or gums is as follows:

Regular 6 monthly Check-ups make a difference

When we talk about regular dental care, we’re specifically referring to treatments like exams to catch any signs of decay, gum disease, and other systemic disease. We’re also talking about dental clean, which work to remove harmful plaque and tartar from areas of the mouth that might have been missed during at-home oral care. Furthermore, X-rays are essential to preventive care and allow dentists to see issues that would otherwise be invisible.

Additionally, all of these treatments:

• Are performed in a single visit
• Require no local anesthetic or needles to complete
• Typicalls takes 20-30 mins
• Reduce your risk of future dental problems
• Saves thousands of dollars in the long run
• If you have a dental insurances, you are covered for 2 check and cleans per year

Peace of Mind with Bright, white teeth and stronger teeth

It’s crucial to understand that dental issues, especially tooth decay and gum disease, are very difficult to catch in the early stages without a professional opinion. Once tooth decay actually causes tooth pain, a dental filling is more than likely already going to be needed. Furthermore, gum disease is largely referred to as the “silent killer” for a reason. Without a trained eye, there’s no way to know for sure if your oral health is in the clear, and dental checkups work to resolve that.

Have you scheduled a checkup in recent months? Oral hygiene matters, but professional checkups are just as important!
