BETTER ORAL HEALTH FOR A LIFETIME
Did you know that if it has been more than six months since your last dental checkup and cleaning, you could be losing money? Regular appointments can help detect oral health problems like gum disease and cavities before they require more expensive and invasive treatments. In addition to saving money, you can preserve your oral health for a lifetime. Contact us or request an appointment, and continue reading below to learn why these visits are so crucial.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A DENTAL CHECKUP?
During your dental checkup, Dr. Ritchie conducts a comprehensive examination of your mouth, using advanced tools like X-rays to identify early signs of issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. These proactive measures enable early intervention, minimizing the need for invasive treatments and reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CLEANING?
Following the examination, our experienced dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. After removing build-up, your dental hygienist will polish your teeth to enhance their appearance and resilience. An optional fluoride treatment can further fortify your teeth against decay, ensuring lasting protection between visits.
WHY SHOULD YOU GET A CHECKUP AND CLEANING EVERY SIX MONTHS?
It’s a common misconception that diligent brushing and flossing are sufficient for maintaining optimal oral health. However, even the most meticulous oral hygiene routines may overlook underlying issues that can lurk beneath the surface. Despite your best efforts, hidden oral health problems can silently progress, leading to significant damage if left unchecked.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months with Dr. Ritchie provide an opportunity for comprehensive assessments that go beyond what can be achieved at home. Through advanced diagnostics and thorough examinations, Dr. Ritchie can detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health concerns that may not be apparent to the naked eye.
By addressing these issues proactively, before they escalate, Dr. Ritchie can intervene with timely treatments, preventing further deterioration and the need for extensive, costly procedures down the line. Biannual cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can’t be effectively eliminated through daily oral care alone, reducing the risk of future dental issues.
