Unfortunately, there\u2019s no substitution for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklindentalcenter.com\/dental-hygiene-and-periodontal-health.html\">professional checkup and cleaning<\/a>. Sometimes, there are nooks and crannies in your mouth that you can\u2019t get to with a regular toothbrush, which is why your dental professional has specially crafted tools that are designed to remove cavity and gum disease-causing plaque and tartar from below your gum line. If you need more reasons to visit your dentist for your checkup and cleaning, read on for four. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Detect Oral Cancer Early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may not have noticed, but each time you visit your dentist for your routine checkup, they conduct an oral cancer screening. This disease is notorious for progressing quickly, which makes it all the more important to spot early-on when there\u2019s a greater chance of successfully treating it. During your screening, your dentist inspects your oral tissues, lips, and neck for any signs of precancerous or cancerous symptoms in your mouth. This includes red and white patches in your mouth, and any abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Control Plaque and Bacteria Buildup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plaque and harmful bacteria are the root cause of most\ncommon oral health problems such as cavities, gum disease, and dental decay.\nEven though you may regularly brush and floss your teeth, your mouth can still\nbe at risk of developing these issues. If your teeth are even slightly\nmisaligned or crooked, it can create hideouts for bacteria and plaque to\naccumulate in and destroy your enamel, leaving your teeth susceptible to damage.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dentist and their team of professionals uses specially\ncrafted tools such as scalers and dental mirrors to spot and clean out these\nhideouts that you can\u2019t get to with a regular toothbrush. Not to mention, when\nyou get your teeth regularly examined and cleaned, you can prevent small issues\nfrom getting worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Bad Habits From Wreaking Havoc On Your Mouth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have bad oral habits like smoking or grinding and clenching\nyour teeth, you may not realize what effects they\u2019re having on your mouth. During\nyour examination, your dentist can inform you about how these habits are\nimpacting you, which could be exactly what you need to alter your lifestyle and\nprevent further damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Hidden Problems With X-Rays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your age and dental history, your dentist may\norder X-rays to search for problems that are hidden to the naked eye. This\nallows them to diagnose serious issues such as impacted wisdom teeth, bone\ndecay, cysts, tumors, and swelling. Sometimes, these don\u2019t exhibit symptoms and\ncan be silently affecting your health, which is why routine X-rays are so\ncritical in order to spot and treat them as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of putting your visit with your dentist on the back burner\nand allowing the chance for small oral health problems to turn into big ones,\nsave yourself headaches down the road and schedule your checkup and cleaning\ntoday! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Donna Franklin-Pitts is an active member of six\ndifferent professional organizations.
