Why Visit The Dentist?

In today’s post, we share a personal story from a patient:

For quite a few years, I didn’t have ‘go to the dentist’ at the top of my to-do list.

But all that has changed. I now consider visits an essential part of my personal health plan. 

Here’s why…

Teeth won’t stay healthy without consistent dental visits. I’ve come to realize this more definitively as I get older. From the obvious functional utility to the important cosmetic nature of teeth, we literally can’t live without them.

When it comes to functional utility, teeth are the foundation of our health. We use them to eat every day. The condition of our teeth can impose unneeded restrictions on our diet. With no teeth at all, our diet might be so diminished we don’t get the necessary nutrition. 

For those who don’t have teeth, this is a sobering realization. Dentures and other prosthetic solutions can help. There are substitutes for the real thing, but having your own authentic teeth is preferred.

When it comes to the cosmetic side, there isn’t a substitute for a bright and toothy smile. It may be the most noticeable element of our face. Having an attractive smile our self-esteem.

I’ve learned that a healthy smile is more than just a nice set of teeth. It contributes to all personal interactions.

Aging combined with poor dental hygiene is perilous for teeth. The simple process of eating causes wear and tear. A continuous bacterial onslaught threatens the protective enamel. Cavities, gum disease, and trauma round out the list of detriments that could separate us from our teeth.
