Why Have You Been Waiting to See Your Dentist? Dont Wait Any Longer! By Dr. Pinnix on August 06, 2012

Not many people like going to the dentist. Regular dental checkups, however, are vitally important to maintaining good dental hygiene and health. Regular checkups to dentists can help spot and correct problems before they become more costly down the road. Regular dental visits can even save your life!

Recently our Charlotte dentists learned that it is possible for bacteria in the mouth to travel from the gums to the heart, leading to cardiovascular disease. Putting off seeing your dentist may seem like a good idea at the time, but can become positively dangerous later on.

By scheduling regular dental examinations, you can prevent larger dental problems in the future. One example is that getting a proper dental cleaning at our South Charlotte dentist office that will help teeth feel and look better, and also helps prevent gum disease from developing. Putting off having a missing filling replaced could lead to an expensive root canal.

A regular dentist visit can also spot problems like periodontal disease, or gum disease, before it becomes a serious problem. Periodontal disease can lead to the loss of teeth if it is not addressed in its early stages. The dentist can also check the alignment of your teeth to ensure that they are not crowding out other teeth. Many problems are spotted by the dentist long before the patient becomes aware of them.

If you have questions or would like more information about our dental examination, periodontal disease, dental hygiene or any additional information about our general dentistry services, please feel free to contact ourCharlotte dentist officeat 704-543-1102 or by using our convenient onlineappointment request form.
