Time For A Dental Checkup?
When life gets hectic, it’s easy to postpone your dental checkup, but staying on track with routine visits is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile and your overall health. Keep reading to see what’s included in your checkup and why it matters.
Don’t Let Life Get in the Way of Your Dental Health
Summer is the season of rest and relaxation, but with vacation plans, graduations, weddings, reunions, and summer camps, it can get just as busy as the rest of the year. Your teeth may be the last thing on your mind this time of year, but they’re always the first thing we’re thinking about. We would love to see you and your family this summer for your cleanings and hygiene exams.
Why Checkups Matter
Regular dental visits help prevent minor issues from turning into bigger problems. They give us the chance to catch cavities early, monitor our gum health, and make sure everything is functioning the way it should. Routine visits also give you an opportunity to ask questions, fine-tune your home routine, and keep your smile looking and feeling its best.
Here’s what to expect:
- Comprehensive Exam: During your exam, we take a close look at your teeth, gums, and jaw. We check for signs of decay, early gum disease, and other concerns that may not be visible or causing symptoms yet. By identifying issues early, we can help you avoid more complex or costly treatment later.
- Professional Cleaning: Even if you brush and floss daily, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach places. A professional cleaning removes this buildup, polishes away surface stains, and leaves your mouth feeling fresh. It also gives our team a chance to share personalized tips for your at-home care.
- Digital X-Rays: X-rays allow us to see what’s happening beneath the surface. They help detect cavities between teeth, monitor bone health, and check for any signs of infection or other underlying issues. Digital X-rays are quick, comfortable, and an important part of preventive care.
- Fluoride Treatment: Depending on your risk for tooth decay, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your enamel. It’s a simple step that offers added protection, especially if you’re prone to cavities or sensitivity.
