While it may seem that visually healthy teeth indicate overall dental health, this is a common misconception. Many dental issues, such as gum disease and tooth decay, often develop unnoticed and cannot be detected just by looking in the mirror. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for identifying and addressing these hidden problems early, ensuring long-term oral health. Therefore, even if your teeth appear fine, routine professional examinations are essential for maintaining a truly healthy smile.
Avoid tobacco, limit alcohol, eat a balanced diet, protect lips from the sun, and have regular dental check-ups for early detection. Online Appointment Requests
