Three Reasons Why Regular Dental Checkups Are Important

We focus not only on treatment but also on preventive dentistry.
Those who come for checkups and find no cavities will receive oral care products selected by Dr. Aya.
Let us explain the three reasons why regular dental checkups are important.

Know the areas where you are likely to leave plaques and stains

Even if you have brushed your teeth everyday, there may be some fine stains left behind during a dental checkup.
Having a dental checkup at least twice a year motivate you to brush your teeth daily and keep your smile healthy. Of course, Dr. Aya also goes for a cleaning every six months.

Early detection and treatment of cavities and periodontal diseases

If the cavity is in an early phase, treatment may be completed on the same day. But if it happens to be large, a mold (called an impression) must be taken to fit the next time.
In addition, if the cavity is further advanced, root canal treatment may be necessary, or the tooth may not be able to hold any longer.

Detect oral diseases that you may not be aware of

Here is a patient who came to our office the other day. She had a small abscess on her tongue, so I wrote a letter of referral to an oral surgeon.
The patient had no symptoms of her own, and she thanked me repeatedly thereafter.
I would like to see him again in good health after the treatment at the oral surgery is successfully completed.
Even when there are no symptoms, it is very important to keep a record of your usual condition through checkups.
We do not only check for a tooth decay, but also examine the mucous membranes to see if any bad growths have formed.
The director of our clinic always checks the condition of the patient at each checkup.
He has also worked as an oral surgeon, so you can trust him to find any diseases of the mucous membrane.
