Family Dentistry with Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, Hart, and Fickas would like to share the reasons why you should go to the dentist. Statistics have shown that 100 million Americans fail to see a dentist in a year. So many people do not realize the importance of visiting the dentist.  Every person ages 2 until 102 should see a dentist. This dental visit should occur at least every 6 months to be evaluated for dental problems that can be treated at an early age and be less costly than bigger dental problems. Also, diseases and medical conditions have symptoms that appear in the mouth and will be detected by the dentist. We also want to convey the first 8 of 15 SIGNS that you need to see a dentist.   1. Teeth are sensitive to cold or hot. 2. Gums bleed and are puffy when you brush or floss. 3. A mouth that has crowns, fillings, implants, or dentures should be monitored. 4. If you do not like your smile or your teeth, visit Family Dentistry. 5.  Breath that is constantly not fresh and smells bad should have the cause detected.   6. Being pregnant can affect your teeth. 7. Pain or swelling is present in the mouth, neck, or face.  8. Difficulty is noted with chewing and swallowing.   If you have any of these 8 SIGNS, please contact Family Dentistry to assist you with these symptoms. Visiting your dentist on a regular basis is vital for a healthy mouth and a healthy body. Please stay tuned for the continuation of signs to watch for to see the dentist.
