Why you shouldn’t skip your dental checkups

Posted on 03/21/2022 by Nam Thien Vu, DDS

Maintaining regular dental visits and checkups is vital for optimal oral health. You require effective care and management from qualified dental experts who can guarantee you maximum oral health. At our dental practice, we take pride in retaining and restoring oral wellness which goes a long way in improving their smile and most importantly contributing to overall health. You should not take dental care lightly as your dental health is closely linked to your overall wellness. The following are the reasons why you should not skip your dental checkups.

Prevention of Oral Health Problems

When you come in for your regular dental checkup, our dentist will have the best time to monitor the state of your oral health. This will include examining whether you might be having underlying dental issues that you might not be aware of. Detecting dental problems during the early stages is crucial to prevent complex oral health problems. For instance, detecting tooth decay when it is starting can prevent cavities and eventual tooth loss. You should therefore ensure that you maintain regular dental checkups to avoid complex and sometimes costly oral health problems.

Oral Cancer Screening

Our dentists can perform cancer screening when you come in at the office. Some signs of cancer can be detected through a visual examination. This will be important to prevent the progression of the condition and personalize your treatment plan.

You get Informed on the Best Dental Health Practices

Our dentists take their time to educate and advise our patients on what they can do to ensure optimal oral wellness. You can come in to the office to talk to a dental expert regarding various topics related to oral health. Call our offices to book an appointment and get started on the goal of achieving perfect oral health.

Seattle Dentist
Dr. Vu and the team are like family! They treat my dental needs and make me feel right at home. When I had a dental emergency they cleared out time to make sure I was taken care of. I knocked 2 teeth out in a bike accident and you can’t even tell!! They also make a great point to support the LGBTQ+ community!

Dentist In Seattle
Dr. Vu and his staff are not only professional and well organized, they are also very welcoming and personable. They make you feel instantly comfortable the moment you walk in. They are a modern practice with state of the art technology and open to all clientele. Their work is fantastic and my teeth look and feel great.

Downtown Seattle Dentist
Summit Dental Care: convenient location in downtown Seattle; strong online website and patient portal (e.g., appointments, dental records); reception staff, hygienist, chairside assistants - competent and professional. Most importantly, there is Summit Dental's Dr. Vu, DDS - a very skilled dental professional who seems to genuinely care about the welfare of his patients. A recent dental crisis/emergency was handled without delay; when a tooth is "making its presence known," one doesn't want to hear, "Let me see if we have any openings..."! Dr. Vu replaced my (now retired) dentist of 20+ years - it has been a wise decision to stay with the practice.

Dentist Downtown Seattle
Dr. Vu is great. He and his staff are all friendly and kind, and I’ve consistently had good experiences at his office. He’s always trying to think of ways to improve patient experience- including offering noise canceling headphones for when you get fillings so you can listen to music or a podcast to distract you from the noise of the drill. Brilliant!

Seattle Family Dentistry
I've been a patient here for 6 years now and Dr. Vu and the team continue to exceed my expectations. They do a great job of listening to you and treat you with the utmost respect. I am so happy here that I keep paying extra for an out-of-Network dental plan. My gum health has improved tremendously and I have reclaimed my smile.
