If so, the answer is probably <\/span>yes<\/span><\/i>. There are some tell-tale signs that a dental visit is necessary — your dentist in Sunnyvale, <\/span>Dr. George Philip<\/span><\/a>, is here to help you make the right decision. Below are the top five signs you should schedule a dental appointment today!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n

When To Visit the Dentist in Sunnyvale<\/span><\/h2>\r\nIf any of these are true about you and your teeth, it\u2019s time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Philip.<\/span>\r\n

#1: You\u2019re experiencing a tooth or gum pain<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe moment you experience a tooth or other oral ache, it\u2019s actually <\/span>past<\/span><\/i> time to visit the dentist. Call to schedule an appointment immediately. Left untreated, your pain could turn into a serious infection ultimately leading to tooth loss. <\/span>\r\n

#2: You\u2019ve got a broken or chipped tooth<\/span><\/h3>\r\nIf you\u2019ve suffered trauma to one of your teeth, don\u2019t wait to see the dentist for a crown or other restorative treatment. The chip, break or fracture needs to be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further breakage. <\/span>\r\n

#3: You\u2019re pregnant<\/span><\/h3>\r\nSome people believe the dentist should be avoided during pregnancy, but it\u2019s actually the opposite. At least one checkup and cleaning is recommended for expectant mothers. Why? Pregnancy can cause a temporary gum infection we call pregnancy gingivitis, and good oral health is important for a healthy, thriving baby.<\/span>\r\n

#4: Your gums bleed frequently<\/span><\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s estimated that 75 percent of Americans experience gum disease to some extent. If your gums bleed when you brush, floss or at any other time, that is a big indicator that you\u2019re suffering from gum disease. Seek a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to prevent the condition from worsening. Left untreated, gum disease has been linked to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes.<\/span>\r\n

#5: It\u2019s been more than six months<\/span><\/h3>\r\nA good oral hygiene routine demands three things: brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting your dentist every six months. The last step is crucial for removing plaque and tartar buildup as well as catching problems like decay and infection while they\u2019re small — before more serious treatments are required. <\/span>\r\n\r\nWith that in mind, how long has it been since your last visit to Dr. Philip\u2019s office? Let the Sunnyvale dentist keep your smile healthy this year, and for many more to come. <\/span>Contact us<\/span><\/a> to book your visit today!<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have you been wondering whether or not you should visit the dentist lately?
