Your dentist will get to know if you are affected by any dental problems before you could know. Your dentist will also know the things that you are unaware of or the things that are invisible to you. That's why visiting your dentist is more important. When you visit your dentist,

  1. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums properly and looks if your gums are associated with any gum disease like periodontitis. If it is detected it may spread all over.
  2. Then he might check for cavities. Cavities can form without your knowledge and it can be treated easily if it is detected at the starting stage. If not, you might lose your teeth if the tooth gets decayed.
  3. Plaque gets formed on your gums and if it is left it forms tartar which is impossible for you to clean by brushing and flossing. You need to visit a dentist to clean the tartar between your teeth. So during your regular dental visit, your dentist will clean your teeth thoroughly leaving a lesser risk of tartar formation.
  4. He will examine your neck, throat, tongue, and face to ensure that there are no spots or swelling in those areas which are a sign of oral cancer. If it is diagnosed at the early stage it can be completely cured.
