What Are You Doing To Maintain The Health Of Your Smile?
On a daily basis, you should take care of your smile through both the dedicated care of brushing and flossing, and through responsible dieting that limits your sugar intake. By controlling your buildup of plaque and stopping tartar from forming, you can reduce your risk for problems with cavities and gingivitis. You should feel confident that your daily hygiene routine is effective, but be careful not to think of this as a replacement for regular dental appointments. During these visits, we can give you updates about the state of your smile, and we can alert you to any problems that will need to be addressed.
Scheduling Your Regular Dental Checkups
Unless you are told to do otherwise, make a habit of seeing your dentist on a semiannual basis. During your regular dental checkups and cleanings, your smile will be protected in several ways. Cleanings help you avoid problems in the future, as they will fight the buildup of plaque and tartar that threaten your oral health. Your dentist will look out for any troubling signs of decay, gingivitis, or any other dental concern. It may be disheartening to hear that something is wrong, but your access to timely care can help you avoid more serious consequences.
We Can Help Your Kids Maintain Their Dental Health, Too
Dental visits are important at any age, but kids can have different needs than adults. Our practice can address those needs during pediatric dental checkups. At first, we can make sure they have the right introduction to the dental office, making it easier for them to feel at ease at future visits. As they age, we can keep up with the development of their oral structures, and we can provide instructions on daily smile care in addition to protecting them with in-office care.
