You might think to yourself, “Well, my teeth must be perfectly healthy because they feel just fine!” However, this isn’t quite right. Many oral health concerns begin and advance without a patient ever experiencing an obvious symptom, whether that includes pain or otherwise. To make sure you’re not missing something that you could easily treat early, we encourage you to remember to schedule checkups with us two times a year.
If you think your brushing is going to completely prevent tooth decay, think again! You need to floss, too. Cavities can develop anywhere on any tooth, which means thoroughly cleaning between teeth with dental floss every day is a very important step toward keeping your smile healthy.
You might imagine that once a cavity forms, the damage is not going to change and it’s up to you to schedule a visit whenever you have the time. Unfortunately, the tooth decay isn’t going to just stop expanding. Instead, this progressive oral disease will continue to cause the destruction of dental tissue until you see us for a filling. The sooner, the better.
