It’s really important to make sure that we’re coming in for our cleanings for one, to make sure that we don’t get any kind of gum disease. Another important reason is during these cleanings, we’re also doing exams. We take a look at all the teeth and sometimes that involves taking x-rays of certain teeth to make sure that there’s nothing going on that we need to address before it becomes a more serious problem. Most, or some patients, don’t come into the dentist until they’re in pain. It’s always best to treat the issues while they’re small before the patient either becomes in pain or before the issue becomes larger to where we need to do a more invasive procedure, for example.
Preserve Your Smile With Preventive Care
If it’s been a while since your last dental visit, there’s no need to worry. Our compassionate office provides a judgment-free environment. Regular visits with your general dentist are a good time to discuss any goals for improving your smile or any dental concerns that you have. For example, if you have a constantly sore jaw, our doctor may recommend getting a custom-made mouthguard to wear at night to relieve the pain. If you’re unhappy with your discolored teeth, we can explain your different teeth whitening options.
During your checkups, our professionals may talk to you about some of these services:
- Cosmetic dentistry to improve your smile’s appearance
- Invisalign clear aligner braces to straighten crooked teeth
- Treatments for receding gums
- Restorative dentistry to repair damaged teeth
- Dental implants to replace missing teeth
