MetroDental now open to serve the Ilonggos

Have you visited a dentist lately?

Most often it is suggested that you visit to your trusted dental clinic every six months, depending on the state of your teeth and over-all oral health.

So why do we need a dental check-up?

According to the UK National Health Service, a check-up allows your dentist to see if you have any dental problems and helps you keep your mouth healthy. Leaving problems untreated could make them more difficult to treat in the future, so it's best to deal with problems early, or, if possible, prevent them altogether.

And what happens during a dental check-up?

At each check-up, your dentist should:

Examine your teeth, gums and mouth.
Ask about your general health and any problems you’ve had with your teeth, mouth or gums since your last visit.
Ask about, and give you advice on, your diet, smoking and alcohol use, and teeth-cleaning habits.
Discuss a date for your next visit.
