Be Sure To Have Regular Dental Checkups

With certain things in life, there is maintenance involved. Plants need to be watered, cars need to have the oil changed, etcetera. The same goes for your teeth. At New Smile Dental, we stress the importance of taking care of your teeth, which is why routine checkups are so important. When you take care of your teeth, there is no doubt you are on the road to excellent dental health.

We recommend having a dental checkup every six months. During the checkup, Dr. Gilbert Lopez and our experienced team will be able to fully assess your smile, and look for potential problems. Routine checkups allow us to see if you have any early signs of cavities, gum disease, and other issues. We will be able to remove the plaque and tartar from your teeth, leaving your mouth clean and fresh.  Though brushing and flossing your teeth are excellent ways of maintaining a beautiful smile, we will be able to tackle the areas that a toothbrush can’t reach.

By doing X-rays, we will be able to see what is going on with your smile under the surface, checking to see if there are any issues that aren’t necessarily visible at first glance. If during your checkup we detect signs of gum disease, we may request you come in every three months so we can take care of the issue before it gets worse.

If you’re due for a dental checkup, make an appointment, and we will be glad to help you achieve excellent oral health!
