Why do I need dental care when I’m not in pain?
Dental care is essential not only to maintain good oral health but also to prevent dental emergencies. Most of the dental problems start off painless.
Decay on teeth (caries) do not cause pain until the decay has reached the pulp (the part of the teeth where nerves and blood vessels are). Then the treatment would be root canal therapy or worse, extraction, when it could have been prevented by early diagnosis and fillings. Much more, you will experience severe pain.
Early periodontal problems (gum disease) are painless until the gums develop infection and abscess, and most of the time, those teeth would have advanced bone loss that would necessitate extraction when it would have been prevented by early diagnosis and gum treatments. Patients should not wait until there’s pain before visiting a dentist because most of the time, the condition is already in an advanced stage that would necessitate extensive and expensive treatments, and worse, tooth loss.
All those worse conditions could be prevented by regular exams and cleanings, where your dentist can diagnose and treat the problems early
