A significant number of people took part in the survey conducted by American scientists. The main purpose of this examination is to determine how an unhealthy lifestyle, the presence of diseases, as well as other negative factors affect the development of caries and other diseases in the field of dentistry. At the same time, it was decided to pay considerable attention to those people who are ill diabetes and active smokers - these two categories of people are most at risk of developing a disease of the oral cavity.

• that for people who prefer to lead the right and healthy lifestyle life, as well as enjoy good health and well-being, is not necessary. They can undergo preventive examinations much less frequently.

What happens during a visit to the dentist?
First, it is important to find a dentist that you feel comfortable with. Once you find a dentist you like, your next step is to arrange an examination before any health issues arise.

At the first visit, the dentist will review your medical record. During your follow-up visit, be sure to tell your dentist if there are any changes in your health.

Most visits to the dentist are preventive check-ups. Regular checkups (ideally every six months) will help keep your teeth healthy and clean, and may also help prevent disease.

• professional cleaning
  An examination almost always includes a complete cleaning by either your dentist or a dental hygienist. Using special instruments, the dental hygienist will clean the area under the gums, removing accumulated plaque and tartar that can lead to gum disease, cavities, bad breath and other problems. In addition, your dentist or dental hygienist can polish and floss your teeth.
• Full inspection
  Your dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth for disease or other problems. Its purpose is to help you keep your mouth healthy and prevent diseases by detecting them early and treating them appropriately.
• x-ray

X-rays reveal problems that would otherwise go unnoticed - these include damage to the bones of the jaw, missing teeth, abscesses, cysts and tumors, as well as caries of contact surfaces. The equipment used in today's dental clinics emits virtually no radiation - no more than you would get from a day in the sun or a weekend watching TV. As a precaution, a protective apron should always be worn during x-rays. If you are pregnant, tell your dentist, as X-rays should only be taken if absolutely necessary. Your dentist may ask you to take a panoramic X-ray. This type of x-ray provides a complete view of your maxilla and mandible in one picture and helps your dentist determine your overbite and how your teeth are in relation to each other and to the palate.

Since ancient times, an attractive disarming smile has been a guarantee of a successful device in personal and public life.

The first thing people notice when they meet is a smile. If it is restrained or covered with a palm, then this is already alarming. A beautiful smile has always attracted and will attract the eyes of others. How to keep it and how to bring it to perfection?

This is only possible through the joint efforts of patients and dentists.

“You need to visit the dentist once every six months” - this recommendation can be heard quite often. But is it really necessary to visit the dental clinic so often?

How often do we put off a visit to the dentist for an indefinite time, motivated by the fact that now there is no time for dental treatment, does not allow family budget, not before now, somehow later. And we remember the need to visit the dentist only when a toothache haunts.

In order to be absolutely calm about the health of your teeth, you need to visit the dentist not only for treatment, but also for preventive purposes. During a preventive visit to the dental office, the doctor usually performs an examination of the oral cavity, if necessary, performs diagnostic x-rays. Then, based on the results of the examination, he gives specific recommendations for caring for the teeth and draws up a plan for therapeutic measures, if they are already needed. The dentist will suggest that you remove dental deposits and plaque. Procedures aimed at strengthening tooth enamel may be prescribed.

Don't be fooled into thinking that brushing your teeth twice a day is enough to keep your mouth healthy. The general condition of the body, the presence of metabolic disorders, can lead to the gradual destruction of tooth tissues. A person may not notice the appearance of initial caries until obvious symptoms appear, such as hypersensitivity to hot or cold foods. Caries is sometimes hidden. At a certain moment, the enamel over such a cavity breaks and a person has a feeling of simultaneous destruction of the tooth: there was a healthy tooth and suddenly the whole one collapsed. Only a dentist can reveal hidden caries with the help of special medical equipment.

If the appointment with the dentist is postponed indefinitely, then a simple carious process will lead to the development of complicated caries - pulpitis or periodontitis. Pulpitis or inflammation of the nerve will entail the removal of the latter, after which the tooth becomes "dead", inelastic, dry. The walls of such teeth break off easily and later, as a rule, the teeth require prosthetics with a crown.

Periodontitis is the most dangerous complication carious process. In this case, the inflammatory process spreads around the tops of the roots of the teeth into the bone surrounding the tooth.

It should be noted that in most cases, periodontitis is asymptomatic, while the microorganisms of the root canal are already doing their "dirty" work. Hence the first conclusion: if you know that you have obviously unhealthy teeth (partially destroyed; roots of long-destroyed teeth; teeth that have changed in color; teeth that periodically cause a feeling of discomfort) you should not postpone a visit to the dentist.

What is the insidiousness of periodontitis? Self-healing never happens.

Sometimes with a common cold, when immunity weakens, the inflammatory process intensifies and it is not always possible to eliminate it with therapeutic methods. This often results in tooth extraction.

It must be remembered that any carious cavity is a source of infection that multiplies throughout the body. Launched caries is often the real reason tonsillitis, gastritis, dysbacteriosis, inflammation of the genitourinary system (nephritis and cystitis). There are known cases of sepsis (blood poisoning) from one carious tooth. Fatal outcomes are possible.

Timely diagnosis at an early stage of caries allows for quick and painless dental treatment. A healthy oral cavity is the key to the health of the stomach, heart and other internal organs. Bad teeth, being a source of infection, can cause some diseases and aggravate others. For example, common diseases - arthritis, endocarditis, functional disorders of the eyes, ears and nose, hypertension, the appearance of toxic elements in the blood. Serious disorders of the kidneys, heart, stomach, intestines can also be obtained if you do not take care of your teeth. This is due to the fact that getting into the blood, microbes and their toxins cause or maintain chronic diseases. Therefore, competent doctors of various specialties, before taking up the treatment of diseases in their profile, recommend that patients first visit a dentist.

Based on all of the above, only one conclusion can be drawn: it is necessary to treat teeth.

Even if, at first glance, nothing hurts, this does not mean at all that you do not have any problems with your teeth. To reveal possible diseases oral cavity, it is necessary to regularly visit a dentist.To do this, it is enough to make an appointment with a doctor at any dental clinic. However, you should know that in a good clinic they will try to save the tooth, not remove it. Any dentist will tell you that it is important to periodically check your teeth in the dental chair as a preventive measure.

Most people are not serious about caring for their teeth and oral cavity - and in vain, because the condition of our teeth affects the health of the whole organism. If you ignore the prevention of diseases of the teeth and oral cavity, you can acquire serious diseases and lose precious teeth.

The most important and necessary procedure prevention is regular brushing of teeth with dental floss and a toothbrush. This is necessary to remove food debris that remains in the interdental spaces and begins to decompose over time, contributing to the formation of harmful bacteria. Bacteria, in turn, contribute to the formation of plaque, leading to the appearance of tartar and destruction of tooth enamel.

However, you should know that brushing your teeth alone is not enough to maintain a healthy oral cavity. Various disorders in the general condition of the body and in metabolism can contribute to the gradual destruction of teeth. We may not notice the reduction in tooth enamel ourselves until symptoms such as sensitivity to cold or hot foods appear. Caries also cannot be independently detected in the early stages without special equipment. To detect in time possible problems, and to prevent the disease at the very beginning of its development, regular visits to the dentist are necessary.

How often should you visit the dentist?

The frequency of visits depends on the condition of your teeth. If nothing bothers you and there is no damage, then an examination in the dental chair must be done at least twice a year. If you have any oral diseases such as caries,periodontitis or gingivitis, then you need to visit a doctor every two to three months.

During a preventive visit to the dentist, the doctor will examine the oral cavity and take an x-ray. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will give the necessary recommendations for oral care and draw up a treatment plan, if necessary. You can also be prescribed procedures that are carried out only with special equipment aimed at strengthening tooth enamel.

Particular attention to the prevention of caries and other diseases should be given to children, as their tooth enamel is weaker. Children should be checked by the dentist at least once every three months.

It should be noted that visit the dentist regularly also profitable! After all, the prevention of the disease and treatment at an early stage will be much cheaper than the treatment of an advanced disease, or pulling out a tooth and replacing it with an artificial one. Therefore, in order to save money and keep your teeth healthy, it is necessary not to postpone a visit to the dentist.

For many people, going to the dentist is one of the last things on their to-do list. The reason for this reluctance is simple and understandable - few people are able to overcome the fear of these doctors, which has its roots in childhood. However, the reluctance to visit a good dentist in time often leads to extremely sad consequences and significant financial costs. Therefore, Estet-portal decided to remind you of when it is necessary to undergo a preventive examination by specialists in this area and why it is so important.

Ever since childhood, visiting the dentist causes trembling in the knees for many. However, it is necessary to maintain the health of our teeth. How often do you need to gather your will into a fist and sit down in a dental chair?

If you suffer from caries, periodontitis or gum disease, you will have to go to the dentist at least once every two to three months.

If your family has a small sweet tooth, you should visit the dental clinic once every two months.
