17 Mar Time For A Checkup
When was your last trip to the dentist? If it’s been longer than six months since you have had a cleaning and examination, it’s time to come again. These preventive visits are used to keep track of changes to your oral health and prevent many common oral health issues. In today’s blog, your team at Kozlow and Rowell Dentistry in Dallas, TX, is here to remind you to come in for your biannual checkup.
Your Cleaning And Examination
In general, you should see the dentist twice a year for a dental checkup. This visit includes thorough cleaning by your dental hygienist, which can help remove plaque from your teeth and help them appear brighter. Your teeth and gums will also be carefully examined to look for signs of oral health issues. Even though you brush and floss at home, these checkups can help further maintain a clean smile and prevent major health issues. Dental visits should start at around three years old, and our team will do their best to create a positive experience for this.
Treatments To Restore Your Smile
After your teeth have been cleaned by your hygienist, your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and gums. They may look for signs of decay, gingivitis, oral cancer, and other concerns. If they notice any problems with your smile, they can add restorations to your treatment plan. For instance, if you have a cavity, they can recommend a dental filling to stop the progression of decay. This treatment is minimally invasive and can be completed in under an hour in most cases. The decayed part of the tooth is removed before a stronger material is added in its place. We also offer treatment for conditions such as sleep apnea, canker sores, and more.
Starting Orthodontic Treatment
Dental checkups are a great way to keep your smile safe and healthy. They should start in early childhood and continue throughout your adulthood. You can also protect your smile with orthodontic treatment. If you were unable to get braces as a kid and do not want them as an adult, our discreet method of Invisalign may be a great orthodontic option for your needs. Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the correct placement. The trays are virtually invisible to others, so you can wear them at work and in pictures without worry that other people will notice. You can remove the trays during meals and when brushing your teeth, which can make them more comfortable than traditional braces. Speak with our team to start your orthodontic treatment.
