What are the benefits of regular dental check-ups?

Regular visits to your dentist at Renew Dental in Bridgwater, comes with a plethora of benefits. These include:

  • Cavity Prevention: A cavity is decayed tooth structure that forms from harmful bacteria in your mouth. Regularly scheduled cleanings and dental exams at Renew Dental will help to keep your teeth clean and allow us to catch cavities early, so that they can be fixed with a filling.
  • Improves Periodontal Health: Regular cleanings remove plaque and bacteria along the gum line. This lowers your risk for periodontal disease by keeping the gums and underlying jawbone healthy. Dentists check your gums during each visit to prevent symptoms from worsening into periodontitis.
  • No More Bad Breath: Fresh breath is part of everyday life but bacteria can cause a nasty smell if left untreated. Regular dental visits will improve your breath by cleaning plaque and tartar off the surface of your teeth, reducing halitosis (bad breath).
  • A Whiter Smile: General dental visits reduces staining, which comes from the natural discolouration of worn-down and weakened enamel. A great smile builds confidence, which is another reason to come back for regular checkups.
