We understand how visiting the dentist is something that you actively avoid.
We understand how visiting the dentist is something that you actively avoid. However, putting off these appointments is no laughing matter. It’s perfectly reasonable to be reluctant to come in for a cleaning or a check-up, but there are also sensible reasons why you shouldn’t hesitate to see your dentist in Annapolis as soon as possible.
Detecting Oral Cancer
If you have a history of cancer in your family, then you’ll want to know for sure which part of the body it might affect. When you visit the dentist, you can get a jump on detecting serious conditions like oral cancer. This condition is also one that isn’t always caught until it’s too late for effective treatment. Regularly scheduled check-ups every six months or so can monitor the state of your mouth and determine whether any tumors have developed without your knowledge.
Making Your Mouth Happier
Although your teeth and gums might feel sore after cleaning, in the end, your mouth will be much happier after you leave a visit at our office in Annapolis. Taking good care of your teeth starts by brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash every day. Another way to make sure your mouth is as healthy as can be is to come and get your teeth cleaned. That way, you can get rid of plaque and tartar that is giving you bad breath and making you afraid to smile. You can also get fillings for any cavities that might have developed as well.
Dealing with Gum Disease
Gum disease is another oral health problem that requires professional treatment. Dealing with gum disease involves fighting off the detrimental effects of plaque and tartar, because not only will they damage your teeth, but they can ruin your gums as well. If the bones that hold your teeth in place are affected, they will cause your tooth to fall out. Then you will need much more extensive treatments that will grow progressively more expensive, even with insurance coverage.
Curbing Poor Habits
Whether you chew on your nails, grind your teeth in your sleep, or clench your jaw, these are all bad habits that can do a number on your teeth. By visiting your friendly and helpful Annapolis dentist, you can learn about what damage has been done to your teeth, and get advice on how to decrease or break these habits entirely.
