Yes you read right. Dentist. Although it may appear at firts sight that what is so special about visiting the dentist regularly, but it is important. Most of us go to the dentist only when we have a problem with our teeth. The most common problem is a cavity. This common problem can lead to a lot of trouble if not checked early.Quite often a cavity may begin without out actually coming to know. If we visit the dentist regularly, he will see it and fill it before it becomes trouble some.
In our over enthusiasm, we often brush out teeth very vigourously. This causes more problems than it solves. Vigourous brushing makes the gums recede and exposes the root. It is better to brush longer and slower. It does not damage the gums. All thse tips can be taken from a visit to a dentist on a regular basis.
How many of you visit yor Dentist regularly? If you don't, do start immediately. At least once a year if not once in six months.

I visit my dentist twice a year. It is because i have no problem with my teeth at all according to my dentist. I only do whitening and polishing my teeth every 6 months. I have my appointment to a dentist next week for the same reason. But, my hubby noticed that I have missing teeth and he wants to consult the dentist for that though he said I may not need braces just procedure to fill the missing teeth and straighten one of my teen in upper part and lower part.

I go every six months to get my teeth cleaned.. But by nest year I will be going every month to get braces.. This is what I plan to have next year on my teeth, I do make sure that I visit my dentist more.. This keeps my teeth very healthy! I also make sure that my kids go to the dentist too!
