The Importance of Proper Oral Care

One of the most important aspects of maintaining overall health is taking care of your oral health. Over time, factors such as age, lifestyle habits, or illness can impact our oral health, leading to complications that require dental intervention. Regular visits to our dental practice allow us to monitor and address any emerging oral health issues and plan appropriate treatments.

Prevent and Detect Oral Disease - As your local dental practice, our duty is to keep your mouth free from plaque and to check for signs of oral distress, including cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. These issues can affect everyone, regardless of age, which is why we recommend a dental check-up every 4-6 months. Semi-annual check-ups help us keep your mouth clear of debris and monitor any developing oral health concerns.

Prevent Bad Breath - Medical studies indicate that 85% of patients with ongoing bad breath (halitosis) have preventable oral health issues. An effective oral hygiene regimen, including routine dental care, is essential in preventing bad breath.

Brighten and Whiten Your Smile - During your dental cleaning with our team, we perform a comprehensive dental exam to understand the current state of your mouth. This allows us to provide a thorough cleaning and polish of your teeth and gums. Regular cleanings every 4-6 months help remove plaque and stains from coffee, tobacco, and tea, giving you a fresh and bright smile.
