Preventive Dentistry
Six-Month Checkups
Routine checkups twice a year are vital to maintaining a healthy, confident smile. During routine appointments at our Chesterfield office, your dental team will clean your teeth, thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, take x-rays if needed, and screen for oral cancer. Plaque and tartar are removed from your teeth, which helps reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease. And we also look for potential issues like tooth decay or early gum disease. Regular checkups help with preventing issues in the future and ensures your oral health is on the right track.
Why Cleanings are Important
Six-month cleanings allow our dentists and staff to monitor any unique challenges and detect any changes to your oral health. These preventive cleanings also help save you time and money long term. Knowing when to take appropriate action often helps in preventing further complications and expensive treatments in the future. Six-month cleanings also keep your smile fresh and bright. We remove plaque and surface stains during these appointments to ensure you leave feeling refreshed and confident.
Keeping Your Gums Healthy
Gum disease (also known as per disease) affects millions of Americans every year. It's also been known to have negative effects on your cardiovascular system and overall health. If bleeding occurs when you brush or floss, it's important to call our office so we can help you prevent damage and restore your gum health.
