It should be no surprise that booking a hygiene appointment is the key to optimal dental health. However, what you may not realize is that it could help you stay OUT of the dental chair! Oral disease is a silent and symptom-free disease that is not easily detected without the help of a hygienist and dentist. Considering this disease is also linked to other health problems, making routine hygiene appointments is most definitely the smartest choice you could make for your smile!
Hygiene appointments, contrary to popular believe, are more than just a simple cleaning. For example:
- We examine your gums and look for areas at risk for periodontal disease. Regular cleanings will help keep your gums and teeth as healthy as possible.
- Prevention is the best defense against oral disease. Regular appointments allow us to catch problems in their early stages and begin treating them as soon as possible.
- Education goes hand-in-hand with prevention. We encourage you to ask questions and take advantage of our expertise. If you have questions or concerns, do not hesitate to talk to us.
- We also offer demonstrations and education on what you can do at home to keep your mouth healthy! These can range from correct brushing and flossing to the best maintenance for dentures, crowns, bridges and orthodontics.
Please make sure you are scheduled for your next hygiene appointment! It will help ensure optimum oral health as well as a clean, beautiful smile!
