Regular visits to the dentist are very important to our oral health. Routine visits play a big role in keeping our teeth and gums healthy, and good oral health is important to our overall health. Oral health issues, such as cavities and gum disease, can cause more serious health issues, such as diabetes, respiratory problems and many others.
Oral health is important throughout our lives. Children, adults and seniors require proper dental care and should visit the dentist regularly. While it is recommended that we visit the dentist twice per year, many Canadians do not go as frequently as they should, often because they do not have adequate dental insurance.
