Why Cleanings and Exams are Important

Regular appointments to your dentist allows him to find early signs of disease. Problems can be treated at a manageable stage. We promote preventative care. Our Dentist is excellent at providing good oral hygiene and instruction. Our office has state of the art digital x-rays that provide clearer images, making it easier to spot cavities and infections, and has very low exposure to radiation.

​Few people can get away with fewer visits. Others may need more frequent visits. People with very little risk of cavities or gum disease can do fine seeing their dentist just once a year. 

People with a high risk of dental disease might need to visit every three or four months, or more. In times of stress or illness, you may need to see the dentist more often than usual. The dentist may help you to fight off a temporary infection or treat changes in your mouth. 

​Good oral hygiene is important for your overall health. Gum infections and periodontal disease is related to heart disease, stroke and preterm and/or low birth weight. Regular dental exams and professional cleanings can prevent these and many other health problems while saving you from a much more costly procedure.
