This is a common question that one encounters now. Covid has led to treatment delays for a lot of patients. Unknowingly, and unfortunately, this has also led to small problems developing into larger problems, that consequently need much more treatment.
While one needs to be cautious, we also need to understand that dental healthcare needs are important and timely intervention can lead to patients needing to visit the dentist less in the future.

The Importance of Regular Dental Visits:
COVID-19 epidemics and limited movement or socialization options should not stop you from seeing a dentist. Your teeth and gums will not stop and wait for the epidemic to end. If neglected, they can develop various problems including gum disease and cavities.
Additionally, delays in routine care and check-ups can lead to other health-related problems. Gum disease is associated with a higher risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease. Gum disease can also increase the risk of lung infection and can cause tooth decay.
Your checkup is also important to detect any pathologies. Early detection is critical for successful treatment and recovery.
And regular dental cleaning can prevent tartar from deteriorating your teeth. As a result, regular checkups at the dentist’s office can help you prevent cavities. After all, cavities usually do not give warning signs when they develop and when left untreated, they hurt.
