What Is Gum Disease?
9. Dentist Visits
It is generally advised that you visit your dentist twice a year for check-ups, in addition to keeping your teeth in good shape at home yourself. If at any point you do have a problem that needs attention then you should make an appointment straight away, regardless of any check-ups you might have scheduled.
Reasons to make an appointment include gums that are bleeding, painful, or swollen. You should also make an appointment as soon as you can if you have a toothache. Even a mild toothache is likely into something more severe, and it can mean an infection which will present a threat to your health overall.
