The reason for getting regular routine dental check-ups is because most dental problems, such as tooth decay and gum disease, have no symptoms in the early stages. By the time the patient begins noticing a problem or experiencing pain, the problem is usually quite advanced. The treatment is usually more involved and more expensive at this point, as well.
By getting routine dental check-ups, your dentist can detect problems in their early stages and correct them before they become painful and expensive.
