If you struggle to follow through with your routine oral health appointments at the dentist, it is time to shift your approach. Most people need these visits at least twice each year, meaning that if you still have not been in for a visit, you are past due. Your biannual cleanings and examinations are your opportunity to meet with your oral health provider one-on-one, and these visits have real power. With a dedicated checkup from a trusted dentist, you can work to fight back against tooth decay, gum disease, and more.
At Sunny Smiles, we know the value of quality dental prevention. That’s why we schedule your appointments at the intervals that we do, and when you skip your biannual checkups, you put yourself at risk. Keep an eye on your smile this fall with a checkup at the dentist, and while you are here, ask about any changes that you would like to make before you reach for an over-the-counter cosmetic option. To schedule your next appointment, give us a call today.
How Often Do You See Your Dentist?
If you are like many Americans, you do not visit the dentist frequently enough. Through a combination of factors, our population tends to ignore their oral health, and this can become a serious problem for the look and feel of a smile. Most people need these visits once every six months, and some could use an accelerated schedule of treatment to ensure that things stay on the right path. So, if you have not been in to the office yet this year for a biannual checkup, you could be at risk.
Maintain Oral Health Focus And Ask Your Questions
While you wait, your oral health maintenance is entirely up to you, and that can become a significant issue. There may be areas of your mouth that you cannot fully brush and floss, and plaque bacteria can start to pile on in these spots. When plaque is allowed to remain for a period of time, it calcifies into harder tartar, and at this point, you can no longer safely remove it on your own. You need the help of a trusted dental hygienist to keep an eye on the health of your smile.
While you are in the office for a biannual checkup and cleaning, it is your opportunity to speak candidly with your oral health team. This is a great chance to talk about any cosmetic dental improvements that you’d like to see!
