A proper oral health routine is crucial for eliminating mouth bacteria. Bacterial build-up leads to plaque that could harden to tartar, leading to long-term oral ailments if left unattended. Some of the conditions you can prevent from developing with a good oral hygiene routine and regular check-ups include the following:
- Infections.
- Gingivitis.
- Periodontal disease.
- Inflammation.
- Tooth loss.
We can use diagnostic imaging to assess your mouth’s condition. It lets us detect issues early for a fast and timely fix before the problem becomes complicated and expensive. We can also recommend a proper dental health routine to prevent cavities and gum disease from developing.
While patients should visit our dental office every six (6) months, we recommend you contact our dentistry team to understand how often you should receive a dental examination. You should have appointments at a higher frequency if:
- You are a smoker.
- You have cavities.
- You have gum disease.
- You are genetically inclined toward root and tooth decay.
