This time of the year can be rather hectic. But while you’re packing your bags and wrapping your presents, make sure that you are keeping the focus on your smile. Your gum health makes a difference all year round, and sticking to your schedule of biannual checkups is a great way to stay on top of your prevention. While your brushing and flossing are essential parts of your oral health journey, having the help of a trusted professional allows you to get the areas you can’t reach.
With our team at Sunny Smiles, you have the opportunity to fight back against gingivitis and periodontal disease this holiday season. And since your dental benefits expire at the end of the year, this is the perfect time to come in for a checkup. Rather than miss out on your chance to have a fresher smile, come in for a cleaning and examination with a trusted, local dentist.

Can You Remember Your Last Dental Appointment?
If you are having a tough time trying to recall when it was, then it’s time to call your dentist. They can let you know if you are due for a checkup; if it’s been longer than six months, then schedule a time to talk about your smile. Most people require these visits every six months, which means that if it’s been longer than that, you need to come have an examination with a qualified oral health professional.
At your visit, you will receive a thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth and along your gumline. This part of your checkup serves to remove any plaque and tartar buildup that has happened since your last trip to the office. That means that while you wait, this accumulation could continue, allowing tooth decay to continue. Your gum health could also suffer, so it’s important to stick to your schedule of cleanings and exams.
Uplift Your Gum Health With Periodontal Services
If, at your appointment, your dentist wants to talk about renewing your gum health, take the time to listen. Fighting back against gingivitis or periodontal disease can be tough to do on your own for a few reasons. The first of these is the development of bacterial buildup. Once plaque calcifies into harder tartar, you can no longer safely remove it yourself; you need the help of a trained professional to clean your smile with ultrasonic technology. Follow through with the guidance given to you by your provider to uplift your gum health.
