Does it seem like a waste of time? If so, then you may want to keep reading as your local dentist explains the purpose of these visits and the possible consequences of not maintaining them. By the end, you\u2019ll have the information you need to develop a new outlook on your oral health.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>What Happens at Preventive Care Visits?<\/h2>\r\nWhen you visit your local dentist for preventive care, here are the two main functions that are carried out:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cleaning <\/strong>\u2013 One of the first people you\u2019ll meet at the dentist\u2019s office will be the dental hygienist. He or she will perform a thorough cleaning of your oral cavity to remove any lingering plaque and tartar.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Examination <\/strong>\u2013 Following the cleaning, you\u2019ll be examined twice \u2013 once by the hygienist and then by the dentist. Your hygienist\u2019s examination helps to identify any cavities or signs of other oral maladies, while your dentist will be looking for such things as jaw alignment issues and signs of oral cancer.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThese two functions give patients the advantage of both having a clean slate to work with and knowing the status of their oral health. Thus, they can make educated decisions moving forward.\r\n<h2>Oral Problems That Can be Prevented<\/h2>\r\nThe inside of your mouth is a very dynamic and volatile environment. There are always bacteria present looking for food to feed on. As they cling to leftover food particles, they begin to grow and release acids that corrode the enamel of your teeth and start a chain-reaction of events, which can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Cavities<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Bad Breath<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Gum Disease<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Toothache<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Tooth Loss<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nPreventive care visits to your dentist help to protect against these problems by creating a healthier environment inside the mouth that makes it harder for bacteria to survive in.\r\n<h2>It\u2019s Bigger Than Just Oral Health<\/h2>\r\nMissing visits to your dentist can disrupt more than just your oral health. The mouth serves as a window to the rest of the body, so when your oral health isn\u2019t up to par, the effects can be seen in other areas.\r\n\r\nHere are some examples of serious health problems that poor dental health can contribute to:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Heart Attack <\/strong>\u2013 Severe plaque buildup in the mouth can filter down to the arteries and can lead to a blockage and possibly a heart attack.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Pancreatic Cancer <\/strong>\u2013 Researchers have also found a link between severe oral infection and pancreatic cancer, as the inflammation caused by poor oral health spreads throughout the body.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Alzheimer\u2019s Disease <\/strong>\u2013 Not only does blood flow down from the gums, it also travels up to the brain. Thus, inflammation and plaque can contribute to the development of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, a neurological disorder that causes severe memory loss.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThese problems, again, can be prevented by visiting your dentist semi-annually for preventive care visits. To get on track with creating better oral and overall health, reach out to your dentist to schedule a visit today.\r\n\r\n<strong>About the Author<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDr. Ira Newman earned his dental degree from Emory University School of Dentistry.
