Visiting the dentist is vital for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues, yet only 65% of adults have had a dental check-up in the last year. Experts emphasize the importance of regular visits for early detection of serious health problems, linking oral health to systemic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. The American Dental Association now advises that the frequency of visits should be individualized rather than a blanket six-month schedule, tailoring check-ups to each person's health status and risk factors.
