Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and gums at home, you should still see your dentist regularly. If you’ve been dragging your heels to schedule a visit to your dentist, here’s a gentle reminder of all the good reasons to set up regular dental hygiene visits with our office—usually two visits a year work well for most people.
Find problems early—Many dental problems (cavities, gum disease, oral cancer) don’t become visible or cause pain until they are in more advanced stages. Regular visits allow Dr. Feucht to find problems early, at a manageable stage.
Prevent tooth loss—Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Regular dental exams and cleanings and brushing and flossing in between visits are vital to controlling gum disease and keeping your teeth.
Have a brighter smile—Teeth cleanings by our dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar; your hygienist will also polish your teeth to a beautiful shine. And you can ask us about our variety of additional tooth whitening options as well.
Prevent bad breath— Good oral hygiene is essential to prevent conditions that can cause bad breath, or halitosis. Your six-month exams can help us identify or rule out periodontal disease, a coating on the surface of the tongue, food stuck between teeth, unclean dentures, oral carcinomas or throat infections, all of which could produce bad breath.
Maintain overall good health—Researchers continue to uncover evidence of a connection between a person’s oral and overall health. Recent studies have linked heart attacks and strokes to gum disease. A dental cleaning every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy could possibly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Take advantage of your dental benefits—If you have dental coverage, regular teeth cleaning is a simple way to save money in the long run by avoiding more costly dental procedures that can result from poor oral hygiene.
Our friendly hygienists have over 25 years of combined experience. They are ready and waiting to help you maintain your “pearly whites.”
