www.dentalimplantsfairfield.com – Fairfield, CT – (GiZOOM) – Going to the dentist on a regular basis is extremely important in order to keep your teeth in excellent condition, and in perfect health. Some people ask if it is really necessary to go to the dentist, or to visit regularly. Well, in a recent North Carolina University study, they showed overwhelming evidence that a woman notices a man’s teeth and smile before anything else, even before looking at his shoes!

So what happens during a routine tooth cleaning session? For starters, a dental hygienist can get at much more than you ever can at home. No matter how much brushing you might do, the frequency of flossing, the types of toothpastes and mouthwashes used, and even the techniques with which you brush and floss; you will never be able to accomplish 100% of what a teeth cleaning will in a dental office.

The dentist has very specialized equipment which is designed to remove plaque and tarter while cleaning all around the tooth. Plaque and tarter not only eat away at your teeth, but they can also be the cause of bad breath! While at the visit, you can ask the dental hygienist if they can offer some tips and suggestions to you, for keeping your teeth and gums completely healthy. You also need to make sure that the Doctor is giving you a examination at least once a year. Situations such as oral cancer, bone loss and gum disease can be picked up immediately by the trained eye during a quick and painless dental exam, and this will allow the dentist to address your specific issues.

Most dental problems do not become painful or visible until they are in the highly advanced stages. Unfortunately, many dental issues are usually irreversible, meaning that an extremely painful tooth will have to be drilled or extracted. Regular visits to a dentist can help address these problems as they begin, or sometimes even before they begin, and you can head off many dental issues down the road. One big thing that you can take away from a dental exam is the dentist’s ability to spot high risk dental infections which lead to cavities. Not only are cavities painful, but they are also potentially very dangerous for you. The infection can spread to your bloodstream, for example, leading to septicemia. Early detection will save you pain, money, as well as serious health problems.

With today’s modern technology, gone are the days of pain and agony at the dental office. I often cringe when a patient says “the doctor only looked in my mouth for a few minutes, so why do I need to pay for an exam?” This reminds me of a story I once heard about the painter Pablo Picasso. One sunny day Picasso was sitting down enjoying his lunch in a small outside bistro, when a couple on their honeymoon recognized him and approached him. The couple asked if the artist would be so kind to draw a sketch of them. After several requests and an offer to pay the artist, Picasso complied and took out his pad and drew his rendition of the couple near the town’s fountain. After a few minutes Picasso proudly presented the couple with the drawing and his fee. The couple was shocked and dismayed at the fee Picasso had written down. The man looked Picasso up and down and said, “Excuse me, Sir, there must be some mistake, the price seems to be extreme for a few minutes work.” Picasso stood up, gathered his belongings and said “A few minutes of work? This is a lifetime of work!”
