Are you taking advantage of the sun? Even though it’s hot out there, this time of the year can be great for El Pasoans. While summer is always a ton of fun, it can also be your opportunity to keep your smile at a high level as you age through consistent cleaning and examinations. People need to see the dentist at least twice each year, and if you have not been into the office for a dental checkup yet in 2024, this is your call to action.

You Need More Than Just Brushing And Flossing
We are huge supporters of consistent oral health care, and that starts with a dedication to brushing and flossing. But even with a dedication to your daily dental maintenance, you need to see the dentist periodically to keep an eye on things. This includes a thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth and along your gumline to remove any plaque and tartar accumulation that has started since your last visit. You also have time to meet with your dentist for a discussion about your current oral health needs, taking a look at your smile through advanced imagery and a visual examination. Your dentist schedules your appointments at certain intervals for a reason, so if it is time for your next semiannual dental checkup, stick to your treatment plan.
Plaque And Tartar Can Hold Your Smile Back
Your daily brushing and flossing are a vital part of keeping your smile safe, and this is beneficial because it removes plaque bacteria. This biofilm starts to accumulate as microorganisms feed upon remnants of food, and if you do not remove it, it calcifies into a harder form called calculus (or tartar). This material is too tough for you to safely brush away on your own, and our gentle dental hygienists are here to help. After your summertime dental checkup, experience a fresher smile; when you are free of plaque and tartar, you take positive steps to avoid periodontal disease and tooth decay.
