At Lumino Smiles, we're passionate about helping patients achieve their best smiles. We genuinely love what we do and care for our patients like our own family members. Ultimately, we want to help you have the healthy, problem-free smile you’ve always wanted!
3 Consequences of Not Visiting the Dentist and How Lumino Smiles Can Help
Regular dental check-ups are important for maintaining optimal oral health. During these appointments, your dentist can examine your smile and detect potential issues like gum disease, cavities and oral cancers. Routine appointments also help prevent oral health problems from getting worse, which can save you time and money on more complex procedures down the road.
Here are a few reasons why visiting the dentist is important:
Prevent and Manage Gum Disease
Neglecting dental visits allows plaque and tartar to build up and can lead to gum disease. Early signs include swollen, bleeding gums and bad breath. At Lumino Smiles Dental, we offer thorough cleanings and treatments to address gum disease and restore your gum health.
Ward Off Cavities
Without regular check-ups, cavities can form and worsen over time. Plaque acids erode tooth enamel and cause tooth decay. Our team can detect cavities early and provide fillings or other restorative treatments to prevent further damage and keep your teeth healthy.
Avoid Tooth Infections
Untreated cavities or gum disease can lead to painful tooth infections, which might require root canal therapy or even extractions. At Lumino Smiles, we offer prompt care to treat infections and preserve teeth whenever possible.
