Dr. Sood is a premier dentist in Shelby Township, MI, who can tackle you and your family's dental needs with expertise and compassion. Below are some benefits of regular visits to Sood Family Dental.

Maintaining Healthy Teeth and Gums

Many people think of going to the dentist only after problems have occurred with their teeth. However, it can be wiser to continue regular check-ups with your dentist even if you do not think you have problems to prevent issues from arising in the future.

For example, many people may not have any signs and symptoms of gum disease. Therefore, they do not know that they even have it without the careful eye of a dentist or dental hygenist monitoring your gum health. Since research has found links between gum disease, heart disease, and diabetes, maintaining healthy gums can have positive effects on your overall health, too.

Preventing Cavities and Oral Cancer

Dentists can also help to catch cavities and oral cancer in the early stages to help save you from further oral damage, pain, and other complications that may arise over time. The sooner a cavity is spotted, the easier it is to treat, therefore saving you time, money, and headache down the road! Regular checks for oral cancer are critical if you have a history of smoking or tobacco use. Early detection can be the key to an easy recovery, but not without your Shelby Township, MI, dentist!
