Why should I go to the dentist regularly?

 A: Regular dental check ups help to keep your teeth and gums healthy. During the dental check up, your dental professional will check your overall oral health for any trouble areas. During the cleaning, your dental professional will remove any plaque and tartar buildup and may polish your teeth.  It also helps monitor for gum disease and allows a screening for oral cancer.
