It takes work to keep a quality smile. You need to make the effort to brush your teeth two times a day, taking a full two minutes each time to do it; you also need to floss to get the spaces in between. But even if you’re doing all of that, it’s still not enough if you are skipping your biannual dental checkups. You’re supposed to be in the dental chair at least twice each year for a cleaning and examination. So, when you want to show up with a safer smile, start with a checkup.
With our North Texas team at Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, you can know that you’re doing enough. Our office understands the importance of consistent checkups, and we keep a close eye on our patients’ oral health needs. From preventive measures like checkups and cleanings to restoration when a tooth needs a little help, our team is built to help smiles just like yours. When you are due for a checkup, don’t put it off any longer.
Taking the time for your checkups helps you fight back against bacterial problems. Schedule a time to talk teeth with Gentle Smiles.
You Can’t Handle It All On Your Own
We know that you’d like to avoid coming to the office if at all possible. But unfortunately, there is only so much that you can do by yourself. Even if you take the time to brush and floss like you’re supposed to, bacterial buildup can wind up in areas you miss. That’s why you’re supposed to come in for a checkup every six months.
These visits include both a cleaning and a visual examination from a trusted, qualified dentist. You can walk out the door free of plaque and calculus (tartar). When you want to see a safer smile in the mirror, that’s a great step to take.
Let’s Talk About Reaching A Safer Smile
While you are in the dental chair for your next checkup, it’s a good time to talk about your smile. We’ll note areas where you could improve your approach and give you some tips on how to keep a safer smile. We can also talk about ways to uplift your gumline.
Periodontal disease is consistently rated as the leading cause of tooth loss in this country. So, if you’ve started to see redness or swelling along your gumline, we can discuss your dental direction. Through ultrasonic scaling and root planing, we remove bacterial buildup, even below the gumline.
