How very often, should you visit the dentist is one very important question to be asked. Whether it’s a year or six months or monthly, it seems to be very important to go for a dental check-up on a regular periodic interval. However, you have  to understand that annual visit to the dentist might not be enough as far as your dental health is concerned. Frequent visits to a dentist’s chamber make a lot of difference in your health and habits.

Why Does Oral Health Matter?

The mouth is so to say, an entrée into the body, hence problems in the mouth can lead to other much serious diseases affecting the heart, brain, bones and blood pressure. This is  why it is important to be hygiene and health conscious and keep daily habits of brushing and flossing and paying a visit to the Dental Clinic every six months. If you are more prone to dental diseases, make sure you get to a dentist’s chamber more and more often.

Who Are the High-risk Patients?

From smokers to pregnant women, from diabetics to patients  with gum disease, from patients with weak immune system to frequent sufferers of cavities and/or plaque, there are a variety of potential patients who could really benefit from Dental checkups.

Potential Risks

As mentioned before, a dental infection or disease could lead to far greater diseases ranging from hear diseases to respiratory  disease, diabectics, posteoporosis etc.

When Should You Call Your Dentist?

The rate of recurrent visits to your dentist is needed to preserve you and your oral health.  If you observe a noticeable yet adverse change in your oral health and it is clear sign that you need to visit Snellville Dental Clinic.

•    Firstly, in case of toothache, the source of the pain is not easily found. While often it is the teeth, in other times it’s the gums. To find out the source or the reason for the ache, one needs a dental X-ray and an inta-oral photograph.

•    Secondly, in cases of an abscessed tooth, the infection is caused by tooth decay, periodontal disease or a cracked tooth. These problems can permit bacteria to enter the soft tissue of the tooth and can lead to nerve death. When pus forms up at  the tip of the root of the tooth  in the jaw bone, a pus pocket is formed which is called ‘abscess’. If the ‘abscess’ is not treated, it might end up into a very serious infection in the jaw  bone, teeth and the surrounding areas. The symptoms of Abscess  lies in pain, swell, redness of gums, bad taste in mouth and fever. Another reason you need to visit your dentist.

•    Third, Cracks in your tooth can be another reason for you to get yourself to a Dental Clinic! This is common in aging people and the treatment varies with respect to the size and location of the crack on your tooth. Some cracks cause loads of pain and others might not even be visible until a tooth X-ray is performed.
