DENTAL CLINICS – WHAT
YOU SHOULD KNOW
 How often should a person visit the dentist?
• A person should visit the dentist regularly every six months. Doing
this will help you to prevent future problems. Some of the issues that
a dentist will look for will be the early signs of plague and even oral
cancer. Many bad habits can cause severe issues in the future. Such as
chewing ice, biting your nails or grinding your teeth. Eating hard or
sticky candy can leave sugar on your teeth and gums that will break
down the enamel and weaken your teeth. The same thing can happen
if you brush too hard. Brushing too hard with cause your gums to
bleed and tear. One of the worst habits you can do is smoke.
Smoking not only can cause lung cancer but it can turn your teeth
yellow, gum disease and even cause your teeth to fall out.
