It’s Spring! Time For A Dental Check-Up!
We are so happy that it is finally spring. Spring is a popular time for “spring cleaning,” which is the process of thoroughly cleaning your home to remove the lingering effects of the winter. We encourage our patients to do the same with their oral health. If it has been some time since your last visit, spring is the perfect time to schedule an oral hygiene examination and cleaning. Read on to learn more.
Let’s Spring Clean Your Mouth
Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and have a thorough oral hygiene routine, visiting our office for regular cleanings and appointments is necessary. When you visit our office for a routine appointment, we not only thoroughly clean your teeth, but we also check for problems such as dental decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. It is particularly important that we remove any plaque that has developed between the teeth and along the gumline. If it continues to accumulate, your risk of developing decay and gum disease is much higher. We recommend that children and most adults visit our office every six months for a cleaning. There are some patients who have existing conditions, such as gum disease, who we recommend visiting more often.
Avoid a Complication or Emergency
The longer you go between oral hygiene examination appointments, the greater the chance you have of experiencing a complication with your oral health or a dental emergency. Dental problems do not heal on their own and will continue to progress until you receive dental intervention. If you do not receive treatment, you may experience discomfort or more severe problems.
If you are unsure of the date of your last visit or if you need to schedule a recommended treatment, we are happy to help you! We can also check for your loved ones. Be sure to contact our office, which is located in Kaufman, TX. Spring is the perfect time to ensure your mouth is healthy for any upcoming spring and summer events. We look forward to seeing you soon!
