Many people avoid the dentist until they feel pain, but waiting too long can lead to serious health issues. Here’s why regular checkups are essential.
1. Detect Cavities Early
Cavities don’t always hurt at first. If caught early, they can be treated with a simple filling instead of a root canal.
2. Prevent Gum Disease
🚨 Did you know? Gum disease is the #1 cause of tooth loss in adults. Regular cleanings prevent gum inflammation before it turns into periodontitis.
3. Oral Cancer Screening
Dentists check for early signs of oral cancer, which can be life-saving.
4. Save Money in the Long Run
Skipping checkups can lead to expensive treatments later. Prevention is cheaper than cure!
