Spring is finally here, and that means it’s time to do some tidying to start the new season. In addition to cleaning your home and clearing your wardrobe of your winter clothes, don’t forget to schedule a checkup with our team. Your Dallas, TX dental team offers checkups and cleanings for patients of all ages, so you can bring yourself and your little ones in for a visit.
Your Cleaning And Examination
If you are an adult, you are probably already familiar with what to expect during your biannual checkup. First, a hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque buildup and polish them. This step helps you prevent cavities and have a brighter smile. After this, your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and gums for signs of cavities, gingivitis, oral cancer, and more. Your dental examination is essential to your oral health, as many common oral health problems do not show symptoms until they have reached a severe stage. By having a checkup done every six months, you can protect your smile from many common oral health problems. If you have not been to the dentist before or it has been quite some time since your last visit, your appointment may last a bit longer so we can thoroughly clean and examine your smile.
Taking Care at Home
Dental care does not stop in the office. Along with seeing our team twice a year for your cleaning and checkup, you will also need to practice a good oral hygiene routine at home. This process will need to include brushing twice a day to get rid of harmful bacteria and food particles and flossing in between your teeth to prevent bad breath. If you find yourself struggling with an oral hygiene routine, our team may be able to give you tips to improve this. Drinking plenty of water and eating a well-balanced diet can also help keep your smile healthy.
Smile Boosts With Cosmetic Treatments
Despite your diligent efforts to maintain your teeth, maintaining a good oral hygiene routine may not guarantee the absence of blemishes. If you have noticed that your teeth are stained from your daily cup of coffee or have become blemished for other reasons, we may be able to help with that. Professional teeth whitening treatment is a simple and fast way to remove stains from the surface of your teeth. We will apply a safe bleaching agent to your teeth and activate it with a special light to break down these stains. You can also talk to our team about our other cosmetic services.
