That's because the smile is practically the first thing that other people see when they talk and interact with us, so if the smile is so decisive in our day to day life, why shouldn't we take care of it?
Hello everyone! Today we are going to talk about something very important: prevention.
Prevention is the key in any area of health, because if we discover a disease in time we will not only be more effective treating it, it will also take less time, money and effort to cure it.
Therefore the importance of attending to the dentist regularly, because it is not the same to find a small caries that can be easily restored with a composite (restoration material that resembles the color of the tooth), to find a larger lesion that compromises the structure of the tooth and requires other treatments, such as a root canal treatment and a crown, for example.
As we let advance the possible pathologies that are in the oral cavity we make the treatment more complex and therefore more expensive.
Dentistry is not expensive, carelessness is.
That is why we always recommend that patients attend a check-up every 6 months and in cases where the patient has periodontal disease, that is to say, problems with their gums, we usually told them to go to the clinic every 4 months to remove local irritants (dental plaque and calculus) that aggravate their illness.
Then everything is summed up to what the saying says: Better to prevent than regret.
