If your teeth and gums feel fine, you’re not in pain, and everything appears normal, it can be tempting to put off your next dental appointment. But many common dental issues, like early gum disease and tooth decay, don’t cause any symptoms until they’ve become more serious (and expensive to fix)!
Here’s Why Dental Check-Ups Matter
Our expert dentists in Wokingham often recommend getting a check-up every six to twelve months as a good rule of thumb, though this depends highly on the condition of your oral health and individual needs.
During your visit, your Tranquil dentist in Wokingham will be looking for:
- Early signs of tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Changes to fillings/crowns
- Signs of oral cancer
- General wear and tear on your teeth
Catching these problems early on means treatment is quicker, simpler and much less expensive than if left untreated!
Five Signs You Need To Book A Check-Up
Even if you’re not due for your routine appointment, you should watch out for these warning signs:
- Bleeding gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Sensitivity to cold and hot food or drink
- Tooth pain and/or discomfort
- Loose fillings
- Chipped teeth
