People often ask why going to the dentist twice a year is important. Your oral wellness is the foundation for your overall health, so regular visits to the dentist for checkups and cleanings are fundamental to prevent tooth decay and gum disease, both of which can worsen other issues in the body. 

Even if you don’t have any symptoms, dental exams are important to make sure your teeth and gums stay healthy—and if problems do occur, they’ll be easier to treat. However, see your dentist right away if:

  • Your gums bleed often or pull away from your teeth.
  • Teeth are loose or separating.
  • You see red or white patches on gums, tongue, or mouth floor.
  • Mouth or jaw pain persists.
  • Mouth sores don’t heal within two weeks.
  • You have problems swallowing or chewing.

Road to Better Oral Health

See a dentist regularly. Doing so can help ensure that problems are taken care of before they become more serious and expensive.

Choose a dentist who belongs to your plan’s network. Visiting an in-network PPO or Premier dentist will likely save you money.

Take advantage of any exams, teeth cleanings, or X-rays your plan may cover. Getting regular dental checkups, such as cleanings and exams, will help prevent dental complications or worsening of dental problems like cavities.
