A typical weekday might be too packed with activities for you to make room for another appointment, even if the appointment concerns something important. A lack of schedule flexibility can interfere with your ability to schedule dental care, making oral health evaluations less frequent. When your scheduled visits are interrupted, you lose out on thorough checks of your oral health as well as teeth cleanings that protect you from future problems. Our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office makes scheduling visits easier by offering appointments on Saturdays! Our Saturday office hours provide you with a more convenient time to come in to have your teeth and gums evaluated.
Are You Struggling To Find Time For A Dental Exam?
Unfortunately, people can fall out of the habit of regular dental exams for several reasons. One reason is that they simply struggle too much to find time to go in and see their dentist for routine care. When you lose out on access to preventive services, you become more vulnerable to tartar buildup, and are more likely to let a problem worsen until it requires more advanced restorative dental treatment. You also lose out on chances to discuss problems with jaw pain or sensitivity that can be caused by TMJ problems or bruxism.
The Benefits Of Regular Checkups And Cleanings
When you go in for regular dental evaluations, you have your teeth and gums checked for problems as well as cleaned. The cleaning is important because it will remove any tartar buildup that may have accumulated since your last visit. Tartar deposits resist removal when you brush and floss, so they remain in place to harm your oral health until a professional appointment. If they build up, they can become a problem for your appearance as well as a threat to your dental well-being. Regular exams provide important warnings about problems like TMJ disorder and bruxism as well as cavities and gum disease. Generally speaking, your dentist will look out for any problems that might impact your oral health, including issues that have not yet caused you active discomfort.
What Happens If A Problem Is Identified At My Next Visit?
After a problem is identified, your dentist will explain it, its potential to affect your health, and what treatment can involve. For tooth decay, early detection and treatment is important because it will limit how much damage your tooth structure experiences. A cavity caught early can be treated with a dental filling, but a larger one may require root canal therapy and a dental crown.
