Admit it or not, few people like going to the dentist. Here at Sharoe Green Dental Practice in Preston, we understand it’s not always easy to keep regular appointments. For some people, it’s hard to find the time around their professional commitments, whilst others can be put off by a genuine fear of visiting the dentist. Most adults should visit a dentist at least once every six months, and sometimes more. In this article, we look at five reasons you really ought to.

1. Dental visits allow your dentist to examine your teeth and gums

The condition of your teeth and gums is of vital importance to your oral health, as well as your sense of well being. Not only can problems be uncomfortable or painful, they can also harm your confidence, as well as taking the pleasure out of eating and drinking.

A thorough check up will allow a dentist to identify any issues that are a cause for concern before they become a problem, allowing preventative treatment to be carried out to minimise the likelihood of problems developing.

2. Dental Checkups Allow You To Discuss Your Concerns

A dental check up provides you with an opportunity to talk to your dentist about any concerns you have, no matter how trivial you may think they are. Here at Sharoe Green Dental Practice in Preston, our experienced dentists pride themselves in being approachable and friendly, as well as being good listeners. After all, we believe this is what makes the difference between a good dentist and a great dentist.

Whatever your concerns, you can feel confident to discuss them with our team, who will be happy to investigate and advise you as necessary.

3. Dental Checkups Give You The Chance to Discuss Other Issues

Several lifestyle factors can affect your teeth and gums, in particular diet, smoking and drinking. A dental checkup allows you to discuss aspects such as these with your dentist, who can provide advice on minimising the negative impact your particular lifestyle may have on your oral health and hygiene.

Tailored, personal advice from an experienced dentist will help you to take a proactive role in protecting your dental health, allowing to to feel more confident and enjoy your lifestyle to the fullest.

4. Every Patient is Unique

Every dental patient is unique. This means that every checkup is a personalised experience specific to your teeth and gums, conducted by an experienced dentist. At Sharoe Green Dental Practice, we believe that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution to healthy teeth and gums.

Only by conducting a thorough, personalised examination with access to the right equipment can a dentist properly advise you on any preventative treatments or dental surgery you may require to keep your mouth in tip top shape.

5. It’s More Than Just Teeth

Did you know that a dental check up is about more than just your teeth and gums? As well as all the traditional checks, dentists are also now trained to spot signs of mouth cancer.

Regular dental checkups increase the likelihood of any important symptoms being recognised early on, giving you the best possible chance for successful treatment.
