At Sandpiper Dental, we agree with the recommendation of the American Dental Association, stating that exams and teeth cleanings should take place every six months. This is the perfect interval for our dentist to keep an eye on your oral health and provide prompt treatment if a problem develops.
Why We Recommend Dental Exams
Dental exams and cleanings fall under preventive dentistry, so even if your teeth don’t hurt, you should still keep these appointments. Cavities and gum disease can often be present without your knowledge, but our dentist will find it during a routine exam or cleaning. That way, we can treat the problem promptly before it damages your smile and long-term oral health.
If you are prone to cavities or gum disease, our dentist may recommend more frequent visits to monitor your oral health closely. This might sound inconvenient, but catching and treating these problems early on is much easier than waiting for them to become more complex and costly to manage.
Schedule Your Next Exam and Teeth Cleaning
Our goal is to create such a pleasant experience at our dental office that protecting your oral health care becomes something you want to do not have to do.
