How often should I visit the dentist?

Going to the dentist’s office may not be the most exciting activity globally, but it is essential to the health of your mouth and overall. It is recommended to go to the dentist twice a year, but it may be better for you to visit more than twice per year, depending on your oral health.

Benefits of a routine checkup

  • We look at more than just your teeth, we check your gums, tongue, surrounding tissue, and mouth interior for any signs of gum disease or tooth decay.
  • Find your cavities when they are fresh and stop them before they start to hurt.
  • Detect the early sign of oral cancer.
  • By avoiding appointments, you only risk your health.

Don’t let your anxiety build because you won’t make a dental appointment. Call us today to achieve dental excellence for a lifetime at 248-588-6565.

Children typically have 28 of their adult teeth by the time they reach 13 years old. The last four teeth to come in are the third molars known as wisdom teeth. Young adults usually receive their wisdom teeth between ages 17 and 21. Some people get one or two, some get all four, and others never get them at all.

Your mouth contains many different types of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Some are good and make up the natural composition of your mouth. Others are harmful and cause health concerns.

Oral Cancer

The below risk factors may increase your chance of developing oral cancer:

  • Chronic consumption of alcohol and tobacco
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
  • A small correlation due to genetics and family history

Oral Cancer used to be considered an older person’s disease but due to HPV, we now see oral cancer in younger patients, even those who are non-users of tobacco and alcohol. Learn more about oral cancer and how our office screens for oral cancer for earlier diagnosis and treatment.
