If you want to avoid problems with your smile, keep up with a combination of daily oral hygiene habits and regular dental exams and cleanings. We understand that coronavirus concerns over the past year have caused big changes in many people’s routines. At our Rochester, MN dentist’s office, we have taken care to implement guidelines from the CDC and ADA to make our services safe for people to access. The changes we have introduced protect our team members and patients from potential infection exposure. Because we have made these changes, we can continue to schedule appointments and provide the preventive dental services that help you avoid difficulties with your oral health!
Have You Been Putting Off Preventive Dental Appointments?
When you delay regular dental exams and cleanings, you lose out on important preventive services that benefit your smile. As important as the right daily routine is, it can fail to meet the standard of care provided during a routine checkup. Through a combination of professional and daily habits, you lower your risk for problems like tooth decay and gum disease. Even if problems do occur, your regular appointments provide early feedback about them, which can lead to care before there are complications to address.
How Regular Cleanings And Exams Protect Your Smile
Regular teeth cleanings remove bacteria buildup and any food deposits that you may have missed. One important matter to note about a professional cleaning is that it can clear away tartar buildup. Tartar formation cannot be removed with a toothbrush and floss. As a result, any accumulation of this substance will remain to cause problems until you see your dentist for support! This can lead to oral health concerns as well as concerns about your appearance.
At every exam, your dentist will look you over closer for more than just tooth decay or gum disease. Identifying both is important, but we are here to thoroughly examine patients and see if they might need our help. Once a problem is identified, we can review treatment options with you.
What We Can Do If We Identify A Problem With Your Oral Health
The sooner a problem is identified, the sooner it can be resolved! Problems with tooth decay and gum disease can worsen gradually if you do not address them. As a result, complications can occur. After that happens, you can find yourself in need of more involved support. Early signs of gingivitis can be met by a periodontal cleaning, while problems with dental decay can be resolved through the placement of a dental filling.
