When Was Your Last Appointment?

But, don’t let that trick you into thinking you can get away with skipping your next checkup. Dental problems can pop up quickly, and you may not even realize it until you’re in real pain. Visiting us every six months is your best defense against dental disease.

Dental Check-Ups Are Essential Healthcare!
Nothing makes us happier than when you visit us and we don’t find a problem with your teeth or gums! It means you’re doing a great job taking care of your oral health at home, and we don’t have to give you any bad news. However, that doesn’t give you a pass on the next visit. Decay and gum disease can happen at any time. Keeping up with your biannual checkups ensures we can detect a potential problem early and treat it quickly, which puts less strain on your health and your budget.
Here’s a reminder of what we do during your routine visits:
A Proper Check-Up
When you visit us, we check the health of your whole mouth. Many oral health diseases, like gingivitis, don’t have physical signs early on. And tooth decay can start out so small that there’s no pain or discoloration. Additionally, a serious problem like oral cancer may not be perceptible to the naked eye at first. With X-rays, digital imaging, and screenings, we can see what’s happening under the surface and in areas of your mouth that aren’t visible when you look in the mirror. The best way to treat a potential problem is to spot it early, which is why it’s important to have a regular care routine with us.
A Professional Cleaning
Our specialized tools and techniques allow us to remove plaque and tartar buildup that at-home toothbrushes and flossing just can’t. Not even the best brushing habits can tackle all the plaque buildup from your day-to-day life. Visiting us for routine cleanings is your best defense against harmful plaque and tartar buildup.
