How Often Should I Visit My Dentist?

Teeth CleaningWhat your dentist in Naperville wants you to know

Chances are if you see people with beautiful smiles, it means they visit their dentists regularly. So, how often should YOU be visiting your dentist? The truth is visiting your dentist at least once each year can help keep your smile looking and feeling great. Dr. Pirooz Zomorrodi at Advance Family Dental Care in Naperville, IL, wants to share the facts about visiting your dentist regularly.

It turns out a healthy smile helps more than just your looks. A healthy smile can also lower your risk of stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and other medical conditions.

When you visit your dentist at least once each year, your dentist can perform a thorough examination of your soft tissue, looking for any signs of oral cancer. This is particularly important if you use tobacco products. Early detection and diagnosis are critical in treating oral cancer.

During your yearly exam appointment, Dr. Zomorrodi will also take x-rays which allow him to see structures that aren’t readily visible. X-rays can show dental decay in between teeth, bone loss due to periodontal disease, and other dental conditions. X-rays help with early diagnosis to keep dental issues small and manageable, before they can develop into painful, expensive, dental problems.

When you visit your dentist, it’s a great opportunity for you to discuss any concerns you may have about your dental health. You can also discuss cosmetic dental services if there are issues about the appearance of your smile you would like to change.

Your dentist will develop a treatment plan based on your dental needs and wants. Your treatment plan will also include preventive services to treat gum and periodontal disease, including regular dental cleanings at least every six months from a dental hygienist.

Your dental hygienist will remove all soft and hard deposits from the surfaces of your teeth, reducing and eliminating the bacteria that cause gum and periodontal disease.

Regular visits to your dentist and dental hygienist are a critically important part of keeping you and your smile healthy. If you want to enjoy a healthy smile for life, visit your dentist regularly! To get started, call Dr. Zomorrodi at Advance Family Dental Care in Naperville, IL, today!
