At Shiflett Family Dental, we customize your dental care to meet your needs and goals. However, the American Dental Association and most dentists recommend twice-yearly checkups and teeth cleanings. This schedule has been shown to reduce gingivitis, bad breath, tooth decay, and oral infection risks.
Of course, this is the recommended schedule if you have healthy teeth and gums. If you’re diagnosed with a condition like gum disease, the dentist will recommend more frequent visits, especially for deep teeth cleanings.
About Dental Checkups with Your Dentist in Clintonville
Prevention is the key to healthy teeth and gums, so dental checkups help us diagnose oral health issues early before they cause significant damage or extended time in the dental chair.
You can expect:
- A comprehensive visual exam of the teeth, gums, and oral tissues
- Periodic x-rays to look beneath the surface
- Oral cancer screenings aid in early detection.
- Professional teeth cleanings to rid your teeth of tartar and plaque
Between checkups and teeth cleanings, brush and floss regularly—no less than twice daily.
