If visiting your Preston dentist every six months feels like an inconvenience, we want to share with you the reasons why it's essential and beneficial for not only your dental health but also for your wallet and well-being.
#1 Routine Check-Ups Protect Your Smile
When you visit your dentists regularly for teeth cleans, we can help you maintain your beautiful and healthy smile. Our hygienist will remove the excess plaque that contributes to problems and some of the staining or discolouration that can occur over time, keeping your smile bright.
#2 Routine Check-Ups Guard Your Dental Health
Consistent dental checks can help you stay on top of any concerns with your teeth and smile before the problems become more significant.
For example, if our dentists detect tooth decay early on, if you're proactive about treating it, you may only need a dental filling. If decay is left untreated or undiagnosed, it will move further into your tooth until it reaches your nerve, where it can cause a painful infection. At this point, you would need root canal treatment to restore and preserve your tooth.
#3 Routine Check-Ups Protect Your Wallet
You can typically rely on less invasive and less expensive procedures when you consistently visit your dentist in Preston, VIC, for preventive care. This means less money from your budget and less time spent in the dental chair.
#4 Routine Check-Ups Maintain Your Overall Well-Being
Because we know that periodontal (gum) health and overall health are closely related, routine check-ups and teeth cleans protect your overall health. Gum disease has been linked with other health concerns, such as:
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Dementia
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Complications during pregnancy
We would love to talk with you about a convenient time for booking if it's time for your next teeth clean and check-up in Preston.
