When was the last time you visited our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning? If it has been longer than six months, you are due for a visit! We know that life can be busy, between work, family, outings with friends, and other medical appointments. We want to stress the importance of regular care for your oral health. You only have one set of teeth for your lifetime, and we would hate for undiagnosed problems to progress into severe complications. Read on to learn more about the importance of routine dental care.
How Often Should You Visit Our Office?
We recommend most of our patients visit our office for a routine hygiene examination and cleaning every six months. There are certain patients with diagnosed conditions, such as gum disease, that we request visit our office more often. Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and brush and floss regularly, routine care is still necessary. There are some dental issues that will develop even with excellent oral health. The longer problems are allowed to develop on their own before medical intervention, the greater your chance of experiencing a dental emergency or a more severe condition develops.
