One of the most important ways to stay healthy is to schedule a regular dental checkup with Dr. Brent Rigby of Rigby Advanced Dental in Bee Cave, TX. Dental health is often neglected and put off until a problem arises. Yet keeping your pearly whites in top shape not only keeps your smile white, but can also help you avoid other health problems. The following ten reasons are why you should schedule a dental cleaning and keep your mouth happy and healthy.
1. Keep your body healthy – Gum disease has been linked to heart disease and strokes. Having regular cleanings will help keep your teeth and gums healthy, leading to better overall health.
2. Keep gum disease at bay – Again, gum disease has been linked to serious health problems. Regular cleanings will help prevent gum disease, which can also lead to loss of teeth.
3. Stop oral cancer – The best way to stop oral cancer is to catch it early or prevent it from developing in the first place. Regular cleanings will screen for mouth cancer, which could mean the difference between life and death.
4. Keep your teeth healthy – Regular cleanings will help you keep all of your teeth for the rest of your life. Poor dental hygiene leads to cavities and tooth loss. Having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis will help ensure that you live a long life with all of your teeth.
5. Prevent halitosis – Halitosis, or bad breath, is a problem for millions of people. Regular cleanings combined with at-home dental care, will keep your mouth free of disease and bacteria, which will leave your breath smelling fresh.
6. To whiten your teeth – A bright, white smile makes you smile more. A regular cleaning helps reduce plaque, and leaves your teeth in the best shape possible.
7. Keep you on your toes – By visiting your dentist for a cleaning every few months, you are more likely to stay on top of your at-home dental care routine because you know your dentist will notice if you slack.
8. To detect problems early – Instead of waiting until you suffer from pain, regular cleanings will give your dentist the chance to notice problems sooner so you can be treated before the problem gets out of control.
9. Keep you on schedule – As you age, its important to have a great relationship with your health care providers, and maintain every aspect of your health. By sticking to a schedule, you’ll have less to think about, less to plan, and more to enjoy as the years roll by.
10. Make use of your insurance – Instead of using your dental insurance only when you have a problem, take advantage of the perks. Most insurance policies include regular cleanings. Find out the details of your plan, and connect with your dentist today.
