How Often Should You Schedule Your Dental Exam and Cleaning?
Most dental professionals recommend scheduling dental exams and cleanings every six months. However, this may vary based on specific oral health needs and risk factors for dental disease. For example, patients with braces or periodontal disease may require more frequent dental visits to help them maintain optimal oral health.
We are also pleased to offer "First Dental Home" visits before the age of three for our youngest patients. Our goal is to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles. Moreover, as a component of preventive care, we help patients prepare for cancer treatment by offering more frequent cleanings and addressing their restorative needs.
What Happens During a Professional Teeth Cleaning?
Your twice-yearly visit will include a thorough dental cleaning. Our hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline, polish your teeth, and perform professional flossing, leaving your smile clean and bright. A fluoride treatment will follow to strengthen your teeth and lower the risk of cavities.
Patient education is at the core of our preventive care. Our team is always happy to offer oral hygiene tips and demonstrate good brushing and flossing techniques to ensure your smile stays healthy between visits.
What Is the Importance of Regular Preventive Care?
- Prevention: Removing plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline can lower your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and other oral health concerns.
- Early Detection: Regular dental exams help us detect cavities, gum disease, or other oral health problems as they develop, keeping them from progressing and requiring extensive treatment down the road.
- Better Overall Health: Poor oral health has been linked to serious health concerns, such as heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, and even pregnancy complications.
- A More Beautiful Smile: Keeping up with regular preventive care will ensure you maintain a healthy, beautiful, and confident smile.
