We know, we know – many of you have a horrible experience of a previous visit to the dentist. You may have been just a child and you may have been eating too much candy and you may have gotten cavities and you may have visited the dentist for it. That’s a lot of “may haves”, but a lot of people would say that all of them hold true and that they have left the dentist’s office somewhat traumatized. After all, not children not even adults can say that they like the dentist to drill their teeth – an experience which can be pretty painful.
But still, even though the experience at the dentist’s office may be somewhat unpleasant – there are still many reasons as to why you would want to schedule dental checkups every now and then. The first reason is that you may have cavities. If you feel some kind of pain while you chew or while you’re drinking hot or cold fluids – then you should go to the dentist. Depending on the condition of your teeth – your dentist may perform a small intervention in order to deal with the cause of the pain and you will go home pain-free.
The benefits of frequent dental visits
The best thing about going to the dentist often is that the damage that your teeth can withstand accumulates. This means that the longer you put off going to the dentist and fixing your problem – the worse the problem itself may become. What may start off as a small irritation when you chew with a particular tooth of yours may develop into a full-blown infection that may eventually result in the need to extract the damaged tooth that’s now beyond repair. As we all know – we have a finite quantity of teeth that are available to us, so we need to fight for the preservation of every last tooth that we have.
If on the other hand you go and see the dentist often enough, he or she will be able to solve any potential issues that you may have by virtue of a small intervention that in most cases won’t take more than 10 minutes. So, hopefully, by now you have become aware of what the benefits of going for regular dental checkups are. We hope that you will follow our advice and protect your teeth by visiting the dentist.
Please select the office you visited.

We follow the activities of these agencies so that we are up-to-date on any new rulings or guidance that may be issued. We do this to make sure that our infection control procedures are current and adhere to each agencies recommendations. Based on the recommendations from ADA and CSDA into consideration and being mindful of the safety and well-being of our patients and staff, we have made the decision to open our offices from Wednesday May 13th for Emergencies and from Wednesday May 20th for routine dental treatments.
