It is a well known fact that men tend to visit doctors and dentists much less frequently than women for routine appointments. At Brightside Dental, we regularly have women saying, they are constantly telling/nagging *delete as applicable (depending if you’re male or female) to arrange a dental appointment.
There are many reasons people choose not to visit the dentist such as:
-lack of time
-no problems in the mouth
-the cost
– being scared (any maybe not wanting to admit it)
-low priority
…. The list goes on.
As dental professionals, we can give many reasons for it being beneficial for you to maintain regular dental visits to keep your mouth as healthy as possible.
A recent study has suggested there is a link between an increased risk of pancreatic cancer and active gum disease:

For the ladies, sometimes, it works best to book your partner in, rather than wait on them to think of a list of excuses!
