Why It’s Time to Schedule Your Next Dental Exam

• Remove plaque buildup – A thin film of bacteria is always attempting to build up on your teeth. Plaque can be removed with brushing and flossing, but unless you’re doing a very careful job of cleaning, some will sneak past you. Your hygienist will tackle that plaque and be sure that it doesn’t affect your teeth or irritate your gums. Removing plaque regularly helps you avoid tooth decay and gingivitis.
• Spot cavities while they’re small – A young cavity is a treatable cavity. Make sure that not too much of your tooth structure is compromised, and avoid more complex treatment – it starts with frequent exams.
• Reverse gingivitis – Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss, and a serious threat to your smile. But if you catch it in its infancy, you can reverse it with just some aggressive brushing and flossing. Gingivitis is tough to notice on your own, so we’ll help you know when it’s time to take action.
• Check in on your oral hygiene – We start brushing and flossing when we’re young. It’s easy to lose effectiveness as the years pass. When your oral hygiene is on point, you’re as efficient as possible, and you save time on cleaning each day. We’ll help you notice the spots that you’re missing, and offer product recommendations that might make your brushing and flossing more pleasant.
