When Was Your Last Dental Checkup?

Posted by

When was the last time you visited your dentist for a cleaning and examination? If it has been longer than six months, we recommend scheduling an appointment to prioritize your oral health! These routine checkups help remove plaque and tartar deposits from the surface of your smile to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. When these symptoms do appear, a dental examination can detect them right away and provide a more conservative treatment when caught in early development. On the other hand, waiting until you have a painful symptom to go to the dentist can mean it is too late for a more simple restorative solution.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we offer preventive dental services to reduce your likelihood of developing problems with your oral health. This includes standard checkups and cleanings as well as services geared to children and special preventive care for patients with gum disease. If you would like to prevent oral bacteria from leading to decay, disease, or worse, make sure to schedule a dental checkup twice a year!

Losing one of your teeth is a disappointment, to say the least! Not only does this event impact the beauty of your smile, but your oral health can begin to degrade quickly as well.

Certain foods may now be too sharp to comfortably eat without worrying about injuring yourself. Fortunately, modern prosthodontics offer replacement teeth that restore the cosmetic and functional aspects of your missing tooth.

At Sunny Smiles, we can help you take on dental loss by placing an implant to help restore your smile. When you visit our practice, we can evaluate your jaw health to determine if you are a candidate for this procedure.

Tracking Your Wisdom Teeth For Removal

From adolescence into early adulthood, visiting your dentist regularly allows us to track the arrival of your wisdom teeth. While some people may never grow this third set of molars, preparing for their eruption can prevent potential harm to the rest of your smile. We could predict if they risk crowding your existing molars or becoming impacted. Simply put, there is often not enough space in your mouth for another set of teeth. We could then plan an extraction to remove these teeth before they have a chance to damage your bite.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we guide your oral health at each stage of development. This means creating a dental record with regular checkups and letting you know about any potential harm to your smile. When third molars risk pain and complication, we can remove them before they break the gumline. If you would like to learn more about this service, speak with us at your next general checkup.

Regular Checkups Help You Prevent Tooth Decay

When you prioritize your oral health, you can prevent common problems that strike those who do not visit their dentist regularly. This is because your semiannual checkups provide an opportunity to remove plaque and tartar deposits that you cannot clean away on your own. While your daily brushing and flossing habits form the basis for your oral hygiene, a dental checkup also helps detect the beginnings of oral problems before they grow into significance. This could mean treating a minor cavity before it creates a tooth infection or requires the restoration of a dental crown.

At Sunny Smiles Family Dentistry, we enjoy seeing you regularly to clean your teeth and stay on top of your smile goals. By creating a dental record, we can notify you when changes develop in your grin. By cleaning your teeth every six months, we prevent plaque from leading to severe cases of decay or disease. If we notice the symptoms of gum infection, we could put you on periodontal maintenance therapy to restore your gingival health. By taking care of your smile both at home and in the dentist’s chair, you do your part to hold decay at bay!
