Do you visit your dentist regularly? If you don’t, then you must seriously consider visiting your dentist at least once in every three or six months. Most of us tend to visit a dental clinic only when we face a serious dental issue. But there are many dental illnesses which can be detected and treated by a dentist at an early stage itself. When you prolong a dental illness, you indirectly affect your overall health.
Even with regular brushing and flossing, there are certain food particles that get trapped in your teeth. This results in plaque, a thin layer of bacteria on your teeth and gums. If plaque is not removed, then it solidifies and forms tartar. Only a dentist can get rid of plaque and tartar. It is therefore recommended that you get your dental cleaning done at least once in 6 months.
Mouth cancer is an important global healthcare problem. There are thousands of cases of cancer of the mouth (oral cavity and pharynx) reported in the UK every year. These cancers are more common in men than in women. However, this is changing.
The incidence rate of cancer of the mouth in women has increased significantly at a rate of 3% per year since 1994. It mainly affects older people although younger people are being diagnosed now. In Britain, the incidence of mouth cancer has increased faster than any other cancer in the past 25 years.
If your dentist diagnoses oral cancer at the initial stage itself, then it is easier to treat it. A regular visit to your dentist will ensure that you are diagnosed with dental illnesses if any, at an early stage.
There are certain nutritional habits of people which lead to gum disease. Gum disease eventually leads to tooth loss. With a regular dentist visit, you can get your gums examined. An early diagnosis of certain gum diseases can help the dentist to treat the condition before it leads to tooth loss.
A lot of people indulge in bad habits such as smoking, chewing tobacco, and having excessive caffeine. This is harmful to your dental health. Smoking leads to discoloration of teeth and bad breath. With regular visits to the dentist, you can keep a check on the harmful effects of your bad habits. Your dentist will prescribe remedial measures and treatments for you to get rid of these harmful habits.
You might have a perfect dental regime but still, you could end up being a victim of cavities. Cavities usually begin with a minor spot on your teeth. Your dentist can warn you about a possibility before it gets worse.
Prevention is less expensive than cure. Regular daily care of your teeth and gums will prevent problems in the future and leave you with lower dental bills.
Your mouth will start to smell if you do not clean it regularly. You take the rubbish out regularly so it doesn’t start to stink, clean your mouth out at least twice a day.
Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums and the first stage of gum disease) is caused by the plaque build-up around your teeth, leading to swollen gums and teeth that bleed when you brush them. Plaque is an accumulation of food and bacteria, which appears in everyone’s mouth and it needs to be cleaned off regularly to keep your mouth healthy.
Any gum disease can make it harder to control your blood glucose. The relationship between serious gum disease and diabetes is two-way. Not only are people with diabetes more susceptible to serious gum disease, but serious gum disease may have the potential to affect blood glucose control and contribute to the progression of diabetes.
There are mild abrasives in toothpaste that remove debris and surface stains and help to keep your teeth looking fresh, healthy, and white.
That 2 minutes brush, twice a day can not only save your teeth and keep your smile looking beautiful it can also literally save your life.
