01.01.2022 Have you ever wondered why visiting the dentist for an examination and hygiene at least once every 6 months is so important? 60-80% of the adult population are living with gum disease, ranging from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis. Gum disease can progress and lead to bad breath, loose or falling out teeth, dissolved gums and jaw bone, and an impact on overall health. Visiting every 6 months (at a minimum) for hygiene appointments is usually just in time so that we ...can attempt to reduce the risk of infection in gums from spreading. Where there is advanced progression of gum disease, you may need to come back much sooner than every 6 months. General health can impact immunity which, in turn, impacts the level of bacteria in the mouth . Gum disease can be triggered or advance and previous healthy statuses may change. Attending examination and hygiene visits helps to prevent the progression of gum disease, further problems and expensive dental treatment in the future. Make sure to call us on 9460 7070 to arrange your next examination and hygiene appointment.
