How Long Has It Been Since Your Last Checkup?

Well, if you’re struggling to remember, then it’s probably time for your next one. Most people need to come in for a biannual checkup twice each year, just like the name suggests. These visits include both a cleaning of your smile and an examination from a qualified dental professional, so they have some real power in keeping you safe from common issues like tooth decay and periodontal disease.

The start of a new year can be a great way to help you remember to stay on track. This way, if you spend a few minutes this January with your provider, you’ll know that by the end of the year, you’ll at least have had one checkup. But still, be sure to come in for your second checkup, too.

Ask Your Oral Health Questions With A Real Dentist

Sometimes, you’ll want to know a little bit more about keeping your smile safe. But if you are only looking online for your information, then it can be tough to actually know what’s going on. By coming in for your next cleaning and examination, you can ask your questions in front of a qualified dental provider, and that has value. So, before you reach for an over-the-counter whitening product, let’s discuss your direction.
