Regular dental exams are vital for maintaining healthy teeth and preventing cavities. Unfortunately, many individuals do not visit the dentist until they encounter a serious oral problem, such as a toothache.

Neglecting a dental examination can lead to more severe problems in the future. If you're delaying your next appointment because you're ashamed or can't find the time, here are five fundamental reasons why you should visit the dentist regularly.

Examine for cavities:

Cavities, or tooth decay, are the most prevalent dental condition affecting the majority of Australian adults. It is necessary to check for cavities at dental appointments. If you wait to visit the dentist for a toothache, he or she may be unable to assist you. Instead, the damaged tooth must be taken out to stop the cavity from getting worse and infecting the gums.

By practising good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist twice a year for routine check-ups, you can effectively prevent cavities. If you brush twice daily and floss once daily, especially after meals and before bed, you should be able to prevent most cavities.
