There comes a time in our lives when we discover that we are neither immortal nor indestructible and our bodies are in need of some TLC from time to time and in this equation, there are people set into the structure of our lives to help us out, hair-dressers to keep you groovy, doctors to mend a broken bone, barmen to mend a broken heart and then there’s your dentist to keep you smiling through adversity. A dentist is an integral part in the cycle of your health throughout your life and will do everything possible to ensure you have great oral health at all times. Now although people feel they can skip appointments from time to time because they are using the best products around at home, it is foolhardy and dangerous to do so. People work hard and play even harder in central London and by doing so, they can also skip important parts of their oral hygiene as well as their dental visits. Bacteria breeds like wildfire in the mouth and bad things can get out of hand very quickly, and if left unchecked, your dental bills will get out of hand pretty quickly too. Every time you pay a visit to your dentist, he/she have a set agenda and will look for the basic signs of trouble- plaque, tartar, decay, gum disease and wear. You will have an X-ray to highlight any problems and then the dentist will choose the best way of fixing them- if needed. Your teeth will be cleaned and polished and then you can go on your merry way to start the next 6-month cycle. It’s also a good time to discuss any problems you are having, or to broach the subject of cosmetic treats that you are considering having done. The dentist is a great ally to have in a crisis, so do yourself a favour and keep up with your visits bi-annually.
