If you avoid the dentist like the plague, you must realize that you’re doing more harm to your overall health than good. Right? Even if you never realized that what goes on in your mouth affects your entire body, you have to know that staying away from the dentist for long periods of time is never a good idea. At the very least, you should schedule an appointment for a dental checkup and Las Vegas dental cleaning every six months.
Whether you realize it or not, a Las Vegas dental cleaning is an important part of your oral health. Coming in for regular dental checkups means you’ll have a screening for oral cancer. With one person every hour dying from oral cancer, it’s important that you get checked to make sure you have nothing that indicates there is a problem. And if you’re a smoker, this is something you really can’t afford to avoid. Early detection is always the key to being able to cure things like oral cancer.
Regular dental cleanings can help you steer clear of gum disease. If you have red, inflamed gums and you don’t have them checked out, you could end up with gingivitis or another gum disease that’s even more serious. Regular brushing and flossing can help keep gum disease away, but you really need to have a checkup regularly to make sure everything is good when it comes to your gums.
One thing you may not realize when it comes to dental care is that the sooner you have a problem diagnosed and fixed, the less it will cost you – money wise. Think about it this way. Filling a tiny cavity in your tooth is going to cost a lot less than having to put a bigger inlay or onlay on your tooth because you didn’t come in soon enough to have your cavity filled.
Coming in for a regular Las Vegas dental cleaning and checkup can do more for you than you realize. So it’s time to call Moore Family Dentistry at 702-791-1010 for our central office or 702-254-6700 for our Summerlin office and make an appointment today.
