Routine dental care is an important part of your overall general health and well-being. Just like you should see your primary care physician for a physical each year, you should also visit your dentist on a regular basis.
It is recommended that you get a cleaning and checkup with a dentist every six months. Preventative maintenance is the key to maintaining good dental health and keeping good habits in place for your teeth and gums. Tooth decay, infection, and gum disease can easily develop if you do not brush your teeth, floss, and get regular cleanings at the dentist.
Supreme Dentistry can help you maintain a healthy mouth in a positive, supportive environment. Call 844.966.2333 to schedule an appointment.
What Is Involved in Routine Dental Care?
If you are apprehensive about going to the dentist and unsure about what will be involved in a regular appointment, asking questions is the best plan. A dentist’s office should happily share what the experience will look like when you come for a routine cleaning and dental exam so that your mind is put at ease.
When you come to a dentist for a dental visit, you can expect:
- A review of your dental history
- An opportunity to share your concerns about your dental health and ask questions
- A complete oral exam before any cleaning or dental work is done
- X-rays if needed
- A thorough dental cleaning
- Assessment of any issues that require further attention or additional procedures
- Recommended actions by dental professionals to help you improve and maintain your dental health
After your appointment is completed, you will schedule any follow-up appointments needed and schedule your next regular checkup in six months.
Importance of Routine Dental Care
Routine dental care is important to maintain your best overall health. Infections in rotted teeth or gum disease can be just as serious as other health issues.
Some of the benefits of routine dental care include:
- An effective way to maintain good oral health
- Oral disease prevention
- Detecting dental issues and addressing them before they become a serious issue
- Money saver by preventing issues that can arise from dental neglect
- Improved appearance, confidence, and self-esteem
When you call on dental professionals like the ones at Supreme Dentistry, you will not only have professionals giving you the best care possible, but you will also have caring and compassionate staff there to support you.
In addition to twice-yearly visits to the dentist, you should also set healthy dental habits at home, including:
- Brushing teeth twice a day
- Replace your toothbrush (or toothbrush head for electric toothbrushes) every three to four months
- Floss daily
- Use a mouthwash that has fluoride in it
- Be mindful of foods that could stain or damage your teeth, as well as high-sugar foods
Taking these steps at home, along with regular dentist visits, will help maintain a good state of dental health. Otherwise, you could be at risk for damaged and unhealthy teeth and gums, as well as serious infections and oral diseases.
