Of course, you can’t receive any of the positive benefits of preventive dental care if you don’t see your dentist. Visiting twice annually allows your hygienist to clean your teeth and your dentist to administer an exam during which time they can spot any problem areas. Regular x-rays give a closer look at the structure and orientation of your teeth. An oral cancer screening can ensure that you don’t have a major problem brewing as well.
Don’t let anxiety over visiting the dentist and potentially “finding something” hold you back from making an appointment. Preventive care only has value when it’s catching the problem ahead of time. Visit your dentist and give yourself the peace of mind that comes from knowing the state of your oral health. If your dentist does spot a problem or an area of concern, he or she can address it with a customized treatment that improves the long-term future of your oral health.
If you haven’t seen the dentist in a while, it’s probably time for a visit. Maintaining a regular checkup and cleaning schedule helps you prevent future problems from developing. Talk to Dr. Carter and the Elm Creek team about setting up your next appointment and what preventive care steps you can take to improve your wellbeing.
