Why Routine Dental Check-ups and Cleanings Matter
Daily brushing and flossing are vital, but professional check-ups include benefits you can’t get at home:
- Early Detection: We spot cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer early, allowing for less invasive treatments.
- Thorough Cleaning: Plaque hardens into tartar below the gumline—it’s removed only through professional cleaning.
- Prevent Gum Disease: Routine visits help prevent progression to advanced periodontal issues.
- Personalized Tips: We offer tailored hygiene advice to suit your needs.
- Cost-Efficient Care: Preventive care reduces the need for complex and expensive treatments later.
Note: Skipping routine visits can lead to major procedures like root canals, extractions, or surgery.
Signs You Need a Dental Check-up Sooner
Even with regular care, you should see us sooner if you notice:
- Bleeding Gums: This may indicate early gum disease.
- Persistent Bad Breath: Could signal decay, gum disease, or infection.
- Tooth Sensitivity or Pain: May mean cavities, worn enamel, or gum recession.
- Visible Plaque or Stains: Indicates need for a professional cleaning.
- Recent Dental Work: Fillings, crowns, or extractions need follow-up care.
- Loose or Shifting Teeth: Can be a sign of advanced gum disease or bone loss.
