Dental visits play a very essential role in obtaining and maintaining both good oral and general heath. Dental visits are important for preventative and treatment reasons and need to be done on a regular basis in order to be effective. You should see a dentist at a quality
Humble dental office twice a year for checkups and cleanings.
Preventative care is the best type of dental care. Preventing problems from occurring in the first place saves you time and money and helps to avoid dental procedures. Visiting your Humble dental office biannually is an important part of preventative care and is crucial for your oral health. The best scenario is to prevent dental health problems from developing instead of having to spend time & money and to experience dental procedures that could have otherwise been avoided. Seeing a professional, experienced dentist at a practice like ours at Edwin Coligado DDS on a regular basis allows for early detection of oral health problems. Early diagnosis is the key to resolving the problems early. When dental issues are addressed in a timely manner, it allows for a better outcome because it reduces the risk of conditions getting worse and from having to have costlier, possibly more invasive treatments in order to resolve them. If you see your dentist and he finds a minor cavity, he can drill and fill it right away, so the condition won’t get worse. However, if you wait until it’s a severe cavity, a more invasive procedure might be necessary. If your dentist diagnoses you with early gum disease, it is much easier and less expensive to treat than advanced periodontal disease. This is important because advanced gum disease eventually, would result in tooth loss. Your dental hygienist also plays an essential role in preventative care & should be seen twice a year when you see the dentist. She will provide you with an essential, professional dental cleaning.
