Have you ever wondered why the general recommendation is to visit the dentist every six months?
Here, no one wants anything bad for you. The reason for this is that regular dental check-ups are necessary to maintain the health of the oral cavity and gums. For example, many problems and damages can be detected early or prevented through regular examinations. The catch is that many diseases cannot be recognized or felt by oneself before they are in an advanced stage. A good example of this is cavities or certain forms of oral cancer. Learn today about more important reasons for regular dental visits.
The regular visit to the hairdresser is now more important than going to the dentist.
Having beautiful and healthy teeth is extremely important nowadays. Not only for aesthetics but also as a health marker for the well-being of our entire body. It is now agreed that poor dental health can be the cause of many illnesses. However, the unpleasant consequences can often be avoided by visiting the dentist regularly. Therefore, the semi-annual dental check-up is a habit that should be taught to children. Unfortunately, this timeframe is being adhered to by fewer and fewer people, and for various reasons. Some people are afraid, while others are embarrassed by the poor appearance of their teeth. Unfortunately, these reasons never improve on their own. Regular check-ups are therefore important.
Who should even go to the dentist more often
Although the semi-annual check-ups work very well for most people, exceptions to the rule are also confirmed here. These exceptions often have an increased risk of cavities and gingivitis, which is an inflammation of the gums. This includes, among others:
- Smokers
- People who frequently consume carbonated and sweet foods or eat a lot of fast food
- People who are already suffering from cavities
- People with weakened immune systems
- pregnant women
Also, people with a high stress level or after a serious illness should visit a dentist more often. Don't just heal – take precautions.
