You depend on your entire smile, and probably more than you realize. Throughout the day, you need to chew, speak, and laugh, and without a healthy set of teeth, that could be tougher than it needs to be. Keeping up with your smile maintenance starts with your brushing and flossing, but that’s not all that you need to do, so when it’s been longer than six months since your last checkup, reach out to your team.

How Long Has It Been Since Your Last Checkup?

If you are struggling to figure it out, then it’s probably time that you come back in for a cleaning and an examination. For most people, the guideline is to see your provider twice each year for a biannual dental checkup; while it might feel easy to put these off, it really puts you at risk. Even with dedicated brushing and flossing, it’s nearly impossible to get absolutely everything, and we’re here to catch what you miss.

At your appointment, ask about ways to improve your brushing and flossing. We could all use a reminder from time to time, and your provider can let you know where you’re going a little too light. Sticking to your schedule of checkups is a great way to avoid dental problems, so don’t put yours off any longer.

Taking Steps For Your Gum Health

One of the most prevalent oral health problems out there is periodontal disease. This is the infection and inflammation of gum tissue, often due to plaque and tartar buildup. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, so when you start to notice a change in your gumline, it’s time to call your dentist. We have options to help you find your way back to a healthy set of gums, and if you need some extra assistance, we can help you find a periodontist you can trust.
