Why Are Oral Check-Ups Important Like Health Check-Ups

During a dental check-up, a dentist also examines for numerous problems the patient cannot find on their own at home. For instance, although they are a major indicator of periodontal disease, deep gum pockets are difficult to find with an at-home oral exam.

With almost half of adults in India suffering from periodontal disease and kids fighting cavities, oral health problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer are shockingly widespread in India. Usually brought on by behaviors like chewing tobacco or betel nuts, these issues are mostly avoidable with basic dental visits.

Still, many people undervalue oral health as they are unaware of its impact on overall well-being. Oral check-ups are as important as regular health tests in avoiding major medical problems and guaranteeing a better, happier life.
