5 reasons why preventive dental check-ups are important

Regular dental prevention and dental hygiene save time and money, protect overall health, ensure healthy gums, detect cavities early, keep teeth white, and contribute to a confident smile.

• Saves time and money: Regular dental prevention and dental hygiene can detect tooth decay or gum inflammation in time. You will avoid more extensive and financially costly treatment.
• Improves overall health: We can help you immediately with small and large cavities, gum inflammation, bone infections and bad breath. Poor dental health affects the patient's health, and some infections can even worsen or cause heart disease, such as endocarditis, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and others.
• Healthy gums: Healthy gums are the most important aspect of dental health! Gum inflammation or redness, as well as periodontitis, causes rapid tooth loss and gum recession. Have your gum inflammation checked by a specialist - a preventive dentist or periodontist.
• STOP tooth decay: Every 6 months, a dental hygienist or dentist will diagnose even the smallest or incipient tooth decay in the interdental space in good time. The patient will have an X-ray called a "bitewing" taken - literally biting down on a small wing of an X-ray sensor that will reveal interproximal caries, caries in the enamel or larger caries in the dentine that threaten the tooth nerve. Untreated caries and other dental problems can lead to complications that will require more extensive treatment and solutions. Do not hesitate and come in on time.
• Healthy and white teeth by nature: Regular preventive check-ups and regular dental hygiene twice a year prevent tooth decay and gum inflammation. Dental plaque and subsequently tartar form in all of us. Do you drink a lot of coffee, tea, red wine, or smoke? Do you dislike yellow, pigmented teeth? Then our preventive dental hygiene programme is the best choice for you.
• It improves the aesthetics of your teeth: Healthy and beautiful teeth help boost your self-confidence and are your perfect calling card. Prevention helps keep your teeth healthier and whiter, contributing to a more attractive smile.

Do not underestimate the health of your teeth.
