3 Reasons Not To Skip A Dental Checkup

cosmetic dental Owensboro

Life gets busy. Sometimes it seems impossible to keep up with everything you gotta do. At Thompson & Frey Cosmetic & Family Dentistry in Owensboro, we understand that. But we urge you to think twice before you cancel or postpone a dental checkup because you think it’s less important than the other twenty objects on your to-do list.

Twice-yearly dental exams are vital for keeping your smile in ideal shape!

“But my teeth feel fine.”
Don’t be lulled by a false sense of security. The fact is that no news isn’t necessarily good news. Dental problems can be progressing without you being aware of it.

1. Your Gums May Be Receding
Gum recession doesn’t happen all at once. Gum tissue can move back almost imperceptibly until teeth and bone are in jeopardy.

2. Decay May Be Lurking
When the acids in plaque start drilling into a tooth, we usually don’t feel it until it has passed through the enamel and dentin and hits the nerve. Ouch! By that time, there is a crater in the tooth. Regular cleanings remove plaque before it can do any degeneration.

3. Prevent Oral Cancer
About 50,000 men and women will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. We’ll screen for oral cancer during your exam. As with all types of cancer, early diagnosis is vital.

After your entire mouth has been examined, we will detail what is necessary moving forward. Whether that’s flossing more often or discussing major fixes such as braces, we will make certain that you get all the information you need to ensure your smile is bright and beautiful!

Twice-yearly exams at Thompson & Frey Cosmetic & Family Dentistry in Owensboro are the best way to make sure you’ve got good dental health. Our services include family and restorative dentistry. Schedule your next appointment today!
