 The mind is trained to visit a doctor only when there is an issue. Most people function the same way when it comes to getting their teeth checked up. However, most people don't understand that their teeth are very different from other parts of the body and if we want to have healthy teeth, it is essential to get regular dental examinations. If you are looking to get your teeth examined irrespective of whether you have dental issues or not you should drop in at Poleski Family Dentistry to have us examine your teeth and mouth and ensure that your oral hygiene is good.
Understanding a Dental Exam
Most of us visit a dental clinic to check for possible dental issues and get them treated. People tend to visit a dentist when they have a nagging pain or an issue with their teeth or gums. However, in most cases this would mean having to go through a dental procedure that could be avoided with a simple regular dental exam. A dental examination is a regular checkup where your entire mouth is observed to make sure there are no existing problems.
This is also highly beneficial to identify any possible dental problems that are showing up. The benefit of identifying these dental issues at the start is that you will manage to treat it effectively and prevent tooth decay or tooth loss. A dental exam is usually split up into portions. The first includes a complete examination of the mouth, the gums and the neck. The second part is a cleaning process which helps to keep your mouth and teeth clean. It is recommended to get a dental exam at least twice a year to help maintain good oral hygiene and stay aware of any possible dental issues or early signs of oral cancer.
Maintaining Oral Hygiene
Apart from the basic steps and measures used to keep your mouth clean, you should also make sure that you have a schedule planned for your dental exam. This benefits you in multiple ways because it helps you to save a lot of money that you have to spend on expensive dental procedures which can be avoided with a simple regular exam. This exam not only helps to keep your teeth strong, but it also ensures that your gums are healthy and there are no signs of gum infections.
Infections that are set in take a very long time to treat and are difficult to get rid of. Gum diseases initially do not have any signs or symptoms which mean you won’t really know you are suffering from a gum infection unless you drop in at a clinic or you have irritation and pain in your gums, in which case the infection has gotten really bad.
Even if you have no issues with your teeth make sure you drop in at Poleski Family Dentistry at your earliest convenience so you can get your teeth examined. You can also call at 412 813-3131 to learn more about how a dental exam is conducted and what we look out for. |
