90% of dental diseases are asymptomatic. This is because our teeth are very well insulated so often times, we do not notice decay until it gets too close to the pulp and starts to hurt. It is for this reason, that although your teeth do not hurt you should keep up with your regular cleanings and checkups to prevent dental disease from presenting itself. By coming to the dentist regularly you are able to:
- Prevent tooth decay
- Prevent staining from foods and drinks
- Maintain longevity of your teeth by reducing the amount of buildup and bacteria in your mouth
- Prevent gingivitis (gum disease)
- And most importantly be confident in your smile
