If it has been a while since the last time that you were in the dental office for a checkup, take the time to schedule your next visit. These appointments are vital to your oral health, and if you have been putting them off, you are doing your smile a disservice. Most patients require these appointments at least twice each year, so if you are struggling to remember your last semiannual dental checkup, it is time for your next cleaning and examination.
With our team of helpful dentists in El Paso, TX, you can find your way back to a positive path of dental prevention. Set aside some time for your next checkup, and we can help you to renew your dedication to your oral health. Your visit starts with a thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth, helping you to be rid of any bacterial accumulation of plaque and tartar. These forms of biofilm lead to tooth decay and even loss, so your cleanings are an important step in your prevention. You will also have time to talk with your provider about any changes that you are seeing in your smile, and take advantage of this opportunity!
Experience A Fresher Smile With A Thorough Cleaning
When you come into the office for your semiannual checkup, your visit begins with a dedicated cleaning of the surface of your teeth. This portion of your checkup helps you to stay safe by removing the bacterial accumulation of plaque and tartar, which are harmful to your smile. By keeping your smile free of plaque and tartar, you give yourself a greater chance of avoiding tooth decay and even loss. It is important to remember that even with an emphasis on your brushing and flossing, you simply cannot handle this all on your own.
Talk To Your Dentist About Changes To Your Oral Health
At your appointment, you will also have the opportunity for a thorough examination of all areas of your mouth. This can include any necessary imagery, and be sure to talk to us about a screening for oral cancer. If detected early, you can minimize the potential harm to your oral and overall health, so don’t risk it. Some patients find it hard to remember all of the things that they would like to discuss at their appointment. If this sounds like you, keep a smile journal for the days and weeks before your visit!
