Prevention is better than cure. Early detection and timely intervention of dental issues can save patients from severe oral health issues and infections. Dental exams are used to help find tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems early, when they're easier to treat. These check up’s are also used to help educate people on the best ways to care for their teeth and gums.
It’s commonly said that one should see a dentist twice a year. Planning regular dental check-ups can prevent the need for advanced and extensive dental treatments.
