Why Are Dental Checkups So Important?

A regular dental checkup is the foundation for your oral health. Scheduling a visit every six months is your opportunity to:

• Catch cavities, gum disease, or other dental problems while they're still small.
• Keep your gums and the structures supporting your teeth healthy.
• Get a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from those hard-to-reach places.
• Receive guidance and advice tailored to your specific dental needs.
