Many people visit the dentist only when they experience pain. But regular dental checkups are crucial even when everything seems normal. Many serious dental issues—like early cavities, gum infections, and enamel erosion—develop silently. During a routine checkup, dentists identify early warning signs that you may not notice at home. Professional cleaning removes tartar that cannot be removed by brushing alone. X-rays help detect hidden problems like impacted teeth or bone loss. Skipping checkups increases the risk of unexpected dental emergencies, costly treatments, and long-term damage. Excella Orthodontics encourages preventive dental care.
