Regular dental visits are the simplest and cheapest way to protect your smile. Yet many people only visit the dentist when something hurts. By that point, a small problem has often become a big one.
For most adults and children, the ideal rhythm is a checkup and professional cleaning every six months. During this visit we examine your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing cannot reach, and catch early signs of caries or gum disease. When needed, a digital panoramic X ray at our clinic gives a complete picture of your teeth, roots and jaw in a few seconds.
Why every six months? Because tartar builds up in a matter of months, and early caries can develop into a deep cavity within a year. A twenty minute checkup can save you from a root canal treatment, an extraction or the cost of replacing a lost tooth.
Some patients need more frequent visits. If you have gum disease, diabetes, many previous fillings, braces or a dry mouth, your dentist may recommend a visit every three or four months. Children also benefit from regular visits, which build confidence and healthy habits early.
Between visits, your daily routine does most of the work. Brush twice a day for two minutes, clean between your teeth daily, and limit sugary snacks and drinks between meals.
