Dental Checkups Help Maintain Optimal Oral Health

The American Dental Association recommends you see your dentist at least twice each year for a checkup. At your checkup, we will inspect your soft tissues for abnormalities, periodontal (gum) disease, and other problems. The dentist will also look at each tooth in your mouth to assess problems like tooth decay or cracks, abrasion areas as well as old dental work. Sometimes old dental work wears out and needs to be replaced. We will be happy to replace old,worn metal fillings and crowns with tooth-colored alternatives.

By looking for problem areas every six months, we can often reduce your potential for large dental problems. For instance, left untreated, a small cavity can grow to destroy an entire tooth and spread to surrounding teeth. A cracked tooth can cause pain or break off and create additional problems. Furthermore, advanced gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss for American adults, and oral cancer causes more than 7,500 deaths each year. Caught and treated early, these diseases can be controlled. Children as young as two should visit a pediatric dentist, and by age four or five, a child should attend regular checkups.
