Regular professional cleanings and examinations are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. At Signature Dental of Lawrence, we believe that these routine visits serve as your first line of defense against issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancers. Early detection and treatment of oral health problems lead to better outcomes and often require less invasive procedures. Don’t wait until discomfort forces you to take action!
Why Do We Put Off Dental Visits?
According to research by the HDI Institute in collaboration with the American Dental Association, several factors can cause us to delay visiting the dentist. Common reasons include concerns about cost, a perceived lack of need, time constraints, and anxiety about dental procedures. However, letting these concerns interfere with your dental care can lead to more serious issues down the road.
When Should You See Your Dentist?
The American Dental Association recommends scheduling dental visits twice a year for cleanings and check-ups. Additionally, you should make an appointment if you experience any of the following:
- Pain in your mouth, teeth, or face
- Injury to your mouth, teeth, or jaw
- Conditions that could impact oral health, such as diabetes
- Pregnancy
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Bleeding, swelling, or redness in your gums
- Recent dental work, such as fillings, crowns, implants, or root canals
