What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about dental health?

Most people like to believe that if there mouth doesn’t bother them, it must be OK. Many wait until something is hurting or they recognize a symptom that should be addressed. This is not the best way to maintain dental health. The best strategy is to maintain a regular schedule of recare appointments with your dentist. Although most dentists recommend twice yearly visits, this schedule could also be annual or quarterly depending on a patient’s need and budget. If you can’t afford to go twice a year, than an annual visit is better than going when something hurts. Having your mouth cleaned and examined, removes tarter and plaque from your teeth and tends to improve the health of your mouth and gums. Also small problems addressed early are less likely to lead to big ones later.
