Well, we’re now past the midway point of the year, so talk to a trusted team of oral health professionals about getting yourself back on track. These visits are vital to your ability to stay safe from problems like tooth decay and periodontal disease, including both a thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth and a visual examination from a qualified dentist.

Here at Cedar Dental in Cedar Rapids, IA, we understand the value of a safer smile. Our office works hard to help people just like you maintain and improve their oral health through effective prevention, and we know that there’s only so much you can do with your own brushing and flossing. Even though we know that you’re keeping up with your side of things, it helps to have a trained hygienist and a knowledgeable dentist to help, too. Take some time for your next checkup and stick to your smile schedule.

The goal is to come in for two checkups a year. If you’ve not had a cleaning and an examination yet in 2026, call Cedar Dental to schedule your next visit.

Those Checkup Appointments Really Hold Importance

We’re not just trying to get you to come in because we enjoy spending time with you. While we certainly have a great time seeing our patients, we ask them to visit because we want to maintain and improve their oral health. In order to do that, you need to put yourself in a dental chair from time to time.

For most people, the goal is to have two checkups each year. Since we are now into July, it means that we’ve already made it past the midway point of 2026. If you’re running behind on your prevention, schedule a visit for a checkup.

Ask About Your Gumline While You’re Here

When you are in the office for your next biannual dental checkup, be sure to bring up your gum health. It’s an essential part of your oral health, and we’re here to help. Bacterial buildup at and below the gumline can lead to swelling, redness, and even recession that puts teeth at risk.

Through ultrasonic scaling and root planing, our team breaks up bacterial buildup beneath the gumline. That allows periodontal tissue to relax a little bit. Let’s see about improving your smile safety through healthier gums.
