There are dozens of reasons why you should visit your dentist every 6 months. Unfortunately, as people age, they are less likely to visit the dentist every 6 months or every year for that matter. If you\u2019re looking for reasons to visit your Maui dentist regularly, we have them laid out for you. Discover why so many of our patients make a visit to Miyamoto Dental Design Suite<\/a> Inc. in Maui every 6 months.<\/p>\n

You Should Visit the Dentist Regularly to Detect Oral Cancer<\/h2>\n

The first reason that you should visit your Maui dentist regularly is to detect oral cancer. Like most cancers, oral cancer is hard to detect without a regular trip to the dentist. Oftentimes, patients have no idea that they have oral cancer because they are not regularly inspecting their mouth. Without early treatment, oral cancer can be fatal. This is one of the reasons that it\u2019s so important to visit your dentist regularly. Our Maui dentist will inspect your mouth for signs of oral cancer and if he sees anything questionable, we will biopsy the area. From there, if we find any cancerous cells, we will point you in the direction of the best treatment possible.<\/p>\n

You Should Visit Your Maui Dentist Regularly to Prevent Cavities<\/h2>\n

Another reason you should visit your Maui dentist regularly is so that you can prevent cavities. By visiting us every 6 months, this allows us to find any potential problems going on in your mouth. In addition, we can give you dental treatments that help you prevent cavities in the first place. To start, we will give you a dental exam where we take x-rays. If we find any underlying problems, we can take care of them before they get worse. Afterward, we will give your mouth a visual inspection. This is when we look for visual problems that didn\u2019t pop up on x-rays like excessive plaque and tartar as well as plaque and tartar under the gums. If you have any signs of gum disease, we will give you the necessary treatment to save your teeth.<\/p>\n

After we are done examining your smile, we will give you professional dental cleaning<\/a>. This includes scraping off any excess plaque and tartar from your teeth using a dental instrument followed by polishing to remove surface stains and any remaining plaque. From there, we will floss and give you a mouth wash to finish off your mouth. This is an important step because you cannot remove tartar from your teeth with brushing alone. If you don\u2019t remove it, it can turn into tooth decay or cavities. By visiting your Maui dentist regularly, you are eliminating the potential that this tartar turns into a cavity or decay. It also helps prevent gum disease from forming.<\/p>\n
