Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Did you know that 92% of adults will experience tooth decay? In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that at least 50% of adults have a form of gum disease. Although both are almost 100% preventable, they are a leading cause of tooth loss.
Your toothbrush and floss can lessen your risk, but they can't clean everywhere in your mouth. Only a trained dental professional can remove the buildup brushing and flossing can't reach to keep your teeth and gums healthy, and cavities and gum disease aren't the only threats to your oral health. Your dentist can detect the early signs of common oral health problems during routine visits.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
Your dentist may recommend having digital X-rays taken of your mouth to have a complete picture of your dental health. Besides revealing the images, your dentist will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums. They will also check your oral tissues, tongue, jaw, bite, and other structures to look for any abnormalities. Your dentist will discuss any concerns you might have and review their findings with you. They'll create a personalized plan to keep your mouth healthy, such as other preventive services, like fluoride varnish.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
Even the best brushing and flossing techniques can leave plaque and tartar in your mouth. Only your dental hygienist can remove them. They will use special dental instruments to clean and polish your teeth. They are experts in oral hygiene and will have the tips you need to keep your mouth healthy. Your hygienist is also the first person to get a good look at your mouth to relay important information to your dentist.
If you have dental insurance, you can visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. If you don't have insurance, don't worry. We offer flexible financial solutions to keep a healthy smile within everyone's budget.
