Why Regular Dental Checkups Matter

Research consistently shows that the more people care for their teeth and attend regular checkups, the lower the rate of adult tooth loss. In a 2014 Gallop Poll study, states with the highest rate of regular dental visits also had the lowest level of adult tooth loss. For example, West Virginia had only 57% of adults visiting the dentist in the prior year, and 37% of those adults experienced tooth loss. In contrast, Connecticut had 74% of adults visiting the dentist in the past year, and the adult tooth loss rate was just 9%.

In addition to reducing the risk of tooth loss, regular checkups help identify dental problems early on. Catching issues like cavities, gum disease, infections, or tooth damage allows for more treatment options and can decrease overall costs. On the other hand, neglecting dental checkups can lead to tooth pain, resulting in time off work. According to the Centers for Disease Control, over 164 million hours of work are lost each year due to tooth pain and dental problems.

Instead of waiting for a dental emergency, schedule a regular checkup at Smrecek Dentistry. It not only saves you time but can potentially prevent tooth pain and costly procedures.
