Reasons to Visit the Dentist Regularly

Want to keep your teeth and mouth healthy? Visit your dentist regularly. The American Dental Association (ADA) says seeing your dentist twice a year is essential. Your Moorestown, NJ, dentist, Dr. Aliya Khan of Moorestown Smile Center, will make your regular dental visits worthwhile.

Dental Cleanings

Did you know that brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing regularly isn't enough to maintain oral health? That's because you may have trouble reaching some corners of your mouth that may harbor bacteria. Plaque and tartar may also build up on your teeth.

Even if you're brushing your teeth the right way, you can't remove tartar by brushing your teeth alone. Regular visits to your dentist's office allow her to clean bacteria, plaque, and tartar accumulated on your teeth.

Early Disease Detection

Your Moorestown, NJ, dentist, will examine your teeth when you come in for your routine dental appointment. Some oral health conditions don't present symptoms till they're advanced. Your dentist will note the early signs of possible oral health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay during your dental exam.

Your dentist can also detect oral cancer during your dental exam. Suspicious signs may warrant further examination and tests before diagnosis. Early disease detection with your dentist helps you get early medical attention. Getting treatment early increases your chances of success and decreases your risk of developing complications.

Correct Bad Habits

Your dentist can find signs of tooth damage that may be due to specific bad habits. During your dental appointment, your dentist can inform you if you have tooth damage. She'll also let you know what habits to give up. Habits that can damage your teeth include chewing ice, brushing too hard, teeth grinding, and smoking.

Dental Education

There's no better place to get all the best information on proper dental care than from your dentist's office. Instead of trusting unreliable online sources, ask your dentist all your pressing dental health questions during your next dental appointment.

You too can enjoy the benefits of regular visits to your dentist. Call (856) 638-5266 to schedule your consultation with your dentist in Moorestown, NJ, Dr. Khan of Moorestown Smile Center, today.
