The recommended frequency of dental check-ups for adults varies. However, regular attendees typically visit every six months. The frequency of your dental visits depends on your specific oral health needs and if you’re prone to tooth decay, gum problems and other dental health concerns. As such, some patients may benefit from more frequent exams and cleans, perhaps every three months or so.
Why Are Routine Check-Ups Important?
Even if you practice excellent oral hygiene, plaque and tartar still develop over time, which could eventually lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Only a trained dental professional can thoroughly and safely remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums, ensuring your smile stays clean and fresh.
Your dentist is trained to identify problems you may not notice or those that lie beneath the surface of your smile, like decay. Your dentist also monitors your oral health and considers influential factors like diet, illness, medication and lifestyle. Ultimately, routine exams and cleans can help prevent problems before they can progress, thus saving you time, energy and money in the future.
Dental Exams and Cleans in Warners Bay
Our Warners Bay dentists provide various preventive dentistry services to help maintain your oral health and wellness. We invite you to book your dental exam today.
Holistic dentistry in Warners Bay, NSW, considers your whole-body wellness. It concentrates on the proven connection between oral and physical health and the issues causing specific dental problems.
New patients may be surprised by their comprehensive initial exam, which may run a bit longer than typical first visits. However, a holistic approach to dentistry is more than treating conditions. It’s about rooting out causes and correcting foundational issues.
Connecting Dental and Physical Health
Your mouth is the gateway to your entire body. What you put into it impacts your health, as does the state of your teeth and gums. For example, diets high in sugar often lead to physical health complications and dental issues. Also, diets low in calcium impact tooth and bone strength.
Additionally, untreated oral health issues put you at risk for gum disease, which has been linked to heart disease, specific autoimmune conditions, and even Alzheimer’s disease.
Our holistic approach to dentistry means we may consult with specialists and investigate further when oral health issues arise, treating and eradicating root causes instead of targeting symptoms as they arise.
