Not only is Smilepoint Dental Beaumont’s premier oral surgeon, we are a full-service dentistry for your whole family. When was the last time you had a dentist appointment? In our last two blogs, we discussed eight reasons you should make an appointment with your dentist. One of the reasons was, of course, that you are due for an appointment. All the other reasons have to do with unusual circumstances requiring extra visits beyond your normal checkups. In this blog, we will finish up our list with four more reasons to make an appointment with us.

1. You have a dry mouth.
   Always feeling thirsty can be a sign of a medical issue. It is also a common side effect of many medications. The key here is to not assume it is your medication. Come in and see us – you are better safe than sorry!
2. You use any type of tobacco.
   Tobacco is the cause of many types of oral issues, from bad breath to oral cancer. We are here to help you stay healthy, so make sure you call us today!
3. There are spots and/or sores in your mouth.
   If you have something that seems wrong in your mouth that lasts longer than a week, you should make an appointment to get it examined. Spots and sores are signs that something is going wrong in your body, and it can be anything from bacterial and viral infections or irritation from braces and more.
4. Your jaw hurts.
   If you have jaw pain when you first wake up or open or close your mouth, make an appointment. The same goes for when your jaw pops when it moves.

Healthy teeth are incredibly important to the quality of your life. We believe that it is possible to have great dental health your entire life whether your genetics are in your favor or not. That is why we work so hard to make excellent dental care affordable. We want dental health to start young and last for decades.
