They seize up in fear\nat the idea of someone they don\u2019t know that well poking around in their mouth.\nAs a result, they don\u2019t go to their checkups and get the care they need.\nAlthough it seems like skipping out on your appointment might not be a big\ndeal, it can have dire consequences. Let\u2019s take a closer look at 5 bad things that\ncan happen if you avoid regularly seeing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchesterbedforddentist.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\">dentist<\/a>\nin Manchester, NH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. You\u2019ll Have a Higher Chance of Getting Cavities <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because your mouth is a warm, moist environment, it\u2019s home\nto lots of bacteria, most of which are harmless and even beneficial. However,\nsome of them produce a sticky film on the teeth called plaque. When you go\nwithout brushing your teeth for even as little as 12 hours, plaque hardens and\nturns into a substance called tartar that causes cavities. You can remove\nplaque on your own with a toothbrush, but only a dental professional can get\nrid of tartar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You\u2019re More Likely to Contract Gum Disease <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tartar can also cause gum disease, a bacterial infection\nthat makes the gums red, swollen, and irritated, and bleed easily. When left\nuntreated, gum disease can make your teeth become loose and even fall out. Gum\ndisease has also been linked to several other health issues, including\ndiabetes, heart disease, and dementia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You\u2019re at a Greater Risk for Oral Cancer <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cleaning isn\u2019t all your dentist does at a checkup. He or\nshe will also examine your mouth for signs of oral cancer. Catching this\ndisease early means a higher chance of successful treatment. By neglecting to\ngo to your checkup, you might develop oral cancer that goes unnoticed until\nit\u2019s too late. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. You Might Lose One or More Teeth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of seeing your dentist every six months is to make\nsure everything is alright. A lot of dental health problems, like oral cancer\nand gum disease, don\u2019t display symptoms until it\u2019s too late to save your teeth.\nBy attending your regular checkups twice a year, you can make sure you not only\nkeep your teeth, but that they stay in good shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. You\u2019ll Need More Expensive Procedures <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Catching problems early means that treatment is a lot less\ninvasive and costly than it would be down the road. For example, a cavity is\nmuch more easily treated with a simple filling early on than it would be with a\nroot canal once decay spreads to the inside of the tooth. A root canal also\ncosts significantly more than a filling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing your dentist every six months can save you a lot of\ntime and money in the future. It can also save your teeth and even prevent you\nfrom contracting diseases in other parts of your body. If you don\u2019t have your\nnext checkup scheduled, book one today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Stephen Langlois is passionate about boosting his\npatients\u2019 confidence in their smiles at Fromuth and Langlois Dental in\nManchester, NH.
