5 Ways Dentists Can Help Improve Your Smile and Health

Your dentist is an important part of your overall health. Beyond improving your health, they can help you improve your smile as well. Whether you need medical care or a boost to your self-esteem, your dentist can help. Here are some ways dentists help your smile and health.

Regular Exams

You should go to the dentist twice a year. If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while, you’re missing out on important treatment. Your appointment is your opportunity to get your teeth deep cleaned in a way that you simply can’t do yourself. Your dentist’s office has the tools they need to get deeply clean your gums and teeth. They also provide x-rays to make sure that your teeth are properly aligned in your jaw. This is also when the dentist will examine your teeth for any problems. Since dental problems can impact your appearance and health, finding problems early is your best bet. With all of this in mind, it is important to make sure you’re going to the dentist on time.

Referrals to the Orthodontist

Four million people wear braces, and 25% of them are adults. If your teeth are improperly aligned, it can make your smile look crooked and cause discomfort. A dentist can refer you to an orthodontist for care. They’ll find the issues during your regular examination and review your options with you. Even if you’re an adult already, you can still fix your teeth with braces. If you’re self-conscious about your crooked smile, a dentist can help!

Provide Dental Implants

Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your self-esteem. If you’re uncomfortable with the way you look, a dentist can provide dental implants to replace your missing teeth. The number of people getting dental implants has increased by 500,000 a year. Modern implants are the strongest and most natural replacement for missing teeth. Dentists have been using them for thirty years. If you want to improve your smile, you can talk to your dentist. If you need teeth pulled for your health, these dental implants can help make that decision a little easier on you. You can get rid of the diseased tooth without sacrificing the look of your smile. Keep this in mind if you ever need teeth pulled.

Teach Good Habits

Good dental habits ideally begin early in life, oftentimes during preschool age. This year, 1.5 million children were enrolled in preschool. This includes 32% of four-year-olds and 5% of three-year-olds. Unfortunately, dental habits aren’t always taught effectively. This can have an impact on your health as an adult. If you want to start taking care of your teeth in order to improve your health and smile, a dentist can provide you with the most accurate information you need in order to make good decisions. So don’t be afraid to ask your dentist for help with things that might seem like they should be obvious.

Treat Gum Disease

Gum disease can have an impact on your overall health. Not only can it cause discomfort in your mouth, but it can also affect your cardiovascular health, along with other systems in your body. It is extremely important to take care of your gums. If you have gum disease, a dentist can help you determine the best way to treat it. They can also supervise your treatment to make sure it is working effectively.

Both your physical health and your self-esteem are important. If you have problems with your mouth that affect either of these things, a dentist can help. Don’t be afraid to make an appointment today! You deserve to have a smile you feel confident in.
