Is going to your dentist as exciting as atting your favorite restaurant or catching a new blockbuster movie? Unfortunately, many people don't share that enthusiasm; it's more likely they'll put off dental visits until they absolutely have to.

But does how often you visit the dentist really make a difference? What are the benefits of regularly scheduling dental appointments?

How Often Should You Go to the Dentist?

The American Dental Association ADA advises visiting your dentist twice annually for an exam and cleaning, which suits most individuals well. However, this recommed schedule is tlored by dentists for each patient's current oral health status and history. In essence, if you're considered a low risk with healthy teeth and gums, once a year might suffice. Conversely, those at high risk for dental issues, such as:

• Diabetes

• Current gum disease

• Smoking habit

• Weakened immune system due to infections

• A tency to form plaque rapidly leading to cavities

may need more frequent visits every three or four months, for example.

Why Visit the Dentist Regularly?

While patients are reminded about regular dental appointments' importance, statistics show that only half of Americans visit their dentists at least twice a year. If you're part of this group, consider how visiting your dentist regularly can benefit:

• Detecting and treating dental problems early to prevent them from escalating.

• Mntning good physical health.

• Preventing oral cancer risks.

• Retning a whiter, brighter smile by preventing stns.

• Preserving overall dental health through prevention of gum disease, tooth decay, and loss.

• Creating or adjusting your treatment plan as needed.

• Avoiding bad breath.

Share this information with fris or family who might be prone to delaying their appointments. Now could also be the perfect time to book your next cleaning and dental exam with Dr. Thad Twiss at our Edwards, CO dental office.

What might deter people from going to the dentist?

Thoughts:

I had no idea that only half of Americans visited their dentists for check-ups annually. Regular visits might be better than none at all, especially considering my teeth' tencies towards cavities. Knowing the importance of keeping my dental health in top condition motivates me to prioritize my regular visits.
