According to a survey conducted by the American Dental Association, one in three people skipped dental visit checkups during the the past few years.
As dentists and healthcare professionals, we want to ensure that our patients are taking care of their teeth in and out of the office. It may seem like no big deal to skip the dentist a time or two, but the results can, unfortunately, be disastrous.
Cavities develop slowly over time, and by the time you notice a problem at home, the problem may have become far more advanced. With our ability to detect and treat issues sooner, we can save you the time, money and discomfort that comes from allowing these small issues to become far more severe. This is why it is strongly recommended that you come in for regular, biannual visits to the dentist for a cleaning and checkup.
If at all possible, we urge you to bring yourself and your family in for scheduled dental visit checkups and cleanings. It is the only way to be sure that your smile is as healthy as it can be!
At your biannual cleaning and check up, we will:
- Perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums
- Take a set of x-rays
- Examine your jaw
- Perform an oral cancer exam
- Clean and polish your teeth
Keeping you (and your teeth!) happy and healthy is our first and foremost concern. We know that a healthy smile is a happy smile! Contact us if you’re ready to schedule your cleaning and exam.
