Taking The Time For Your Smile

How long has it been since you were last in the dental chair? For many Americans, this can be a tough question to answer. We simply don’t pay enough attention to our oral health here, but it’s important to remember that you write your own story. Take the time for your smile, including your biannual checkups; they really do make a difference.

When you visit the team at Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, you’ve got someone looking out for your oral health needs. We understand the value of a safe, strong smile, and that’s why we emphasize the importance of your routine biannual checkups. If you skip your cleanings, plaque and tartar can start to pile up along your gumline and on the surface of your teeth. And your examinations play a real role in helping you make positive moves; so, when you’re ready to renew your smile, start with your next checkup.

Make the oral health effort. Call Gentle Smiles today to schedule your next visit.

Can You Remember How Long It’s Been?

If you are struggling to recall the date of your last dental checkup, then you might be due for another one. For most patients, the goal is to come in twice each year for a detailed examination and a removal of plaque and tartar buildup. So, if it’s been longer than six months since the last time you were in, it’s time for a checkup.

These visits are your chance to check in with a qualified oral health provider, and that offers opportunities. While you’re in the office, be sure to ask any questions that you have, because we are here to help you make the right moves. Sticking close to your dentist, and having a positive, communicative relationship with your oral health team can make an impact.

Are You Taking The Time For Your Gum Health?

When you start to notice a shift in your gumline, then you’re ready to see your provider. And when you see blood when you brush, take the time for a checkup, as this can be a sign that you’re experiencing bacterial infection of your periodontal tissue. This starts as gingivitis, but if ignored, it can progress to periodontal disease, which puts your smile at risk.

At your next dental checkup, our team will take a look at your gumline to see if there are places you could improve your maintenance through brushing and flossing. And we can help you to take care of your gums through periodontal maintenance, as well.
