When Was Your Last Dental Cleaning?

Skipping a regular dental cleaning can lead to serious consequences for your health.

When your teeth feel good, you may be tempted to dodge your upcoming oral exam and cleaning. But don't let your seemingly healthy mouth prevent you from receiving the professional care your teeth and gums need.

Home care, which includes regular brushing, flossing and eating a well-balanced diet, is essential to maintaining a healthy smile.  However, there is simply no substitute for a professional dental cleaning. No matter how diligent you are in your oral health regimen, you should still have a dental exam and cleaning at least twice per year in order to protect your teeth and gums from gum disease and other serious oral health problems.

Serious Conditions Start as Treatable Problems
Most dental conditions begin as small problems. Without early detection, they can quickly progress to more serious conditions requiring more significant treatment solutions with fewer treatment options. The Grove Dental dentists will detect cavities, broken fillings and gum disease in their earliest stages, ensuring effective treatment and preventing further damage. Root canal therapy, gum surgery, and extractions are often times prevented with healthy dental care.
