Why do I need to go to the dentist?
Many people only go to the dentist when somethings wrong or they experience tooth pain. Regular dental visits are essential to make sure oral health problems — from tooth decay to oral cancer — are detected and treated in a timely manner. Some individuals may need to see the dentist more often than others to stay on top of problems like plaque buildup and gum disease, but everyone should go at least twice per year.
Regular dental visits will include a thorough oral exam to check the health of your teeth and gums and a professional cleaning to remove stubborn deposits. Your dentist or hygienist will also recommend taking a series of x-rays so your dentist can properly assess and diagnose any treatment that may be needed. Treatments that may be recommended during a routine or emergency visit may include:
- Cavity Prevention
- Cosmetic Dentistry
- Crown & Bridges
- Fillings
- Endodontic Therapy
- Extractions
- Implants
- Invisalign
- Occlusion & TMD Services
- Oral Health
- Periodontal Therapy
- Removable Dentures
