A healthy diet and proper oral hygiene habits are essential for maintaining your oral health , but this does not mean that they are substitutes for regular dental visits. This video from the American Dental Association takes a closer look at the importance of seeing your dentist for routine checkups.
During a dental checkup, your dentist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gum line that are often left behind after brushing and flossing. Your dentist will also take this time to check for signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Watch this clip to learn more.
