Visiting the dentist and getting a complete oral exam often becomes tedious, either due to a lack of time, because it is not considered important, or fear. Many people schedule a consultation for pain or discomfort in the mouth.
According to the Pan American Health Organization, it does not matter how many times you go to a dental office since each person has different needs. Thus, the treatment required will vary.
1. Troubleshooting: A dental consultation allows the practitioner to discover conditions early, avoiding future complications that threaten health.
2. Economic savings: Although going to the dentist is a luxury for some due to the cost, it is wise to opt for prevention than for delayed treatment.
3. Oral health care: The dentist is able to advise and offer guidelines to improve oral hygiene habits.
