It happens to all of us, one day we are going about our daily lives and we get that reminder call or email about our upcoming dental appointment. Life gets busy and you may be tempted to skip that appointment. After all, you are still pretty good at cleaning your teeth, isn't this just a regular cleaning? The answer...no! There is much more that goes on. Right off the bat, you will be missing out on an advanced cleaning. This kind of cleaning goes beyond brushing and flossing because it tackles problems that regular cleaning cannot solve. Hardened plaque can turn into tartar which cannot be removed by flossing and brushing. Our family dentist will take care of this problem with ease!
Having someone else look at your oral health more closely, with proper lighting, and with the right tools/equipment is a good source for screening more serious oral problems, such as oral cancer. Oral cancer is very serious and difficult to treat. If diagnosed early, you have a better chance of beating it. This is one of the most important reasons to come see us at our office in Gainesville, FL.
At the very least, if you have great oral health, or even decent oral health, coming to us for regular cleaning will give you a chance to listen to our feedback and recommendations. A lot of your oral health will be up to you to maintain. We will help steer you in the right direction and educate you on how you can keep the best oral health possible!
