Maintaining your dental health is essential for more reasons than you might realize. Oral health is connected to overall health, according to research. Diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, lung illness, strokes, pregnancy difficulties have been linked to mouth infections and poor oral hygiene.
Dental Checkups
We encourage frequent dental visits every six months for those in good oral health. This enables our dental team to stay on top of cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease. Other people may require dental appointments as frequently as three or four times a year to monitor issues such as gum disease.
We'll conduct a thorough dental examination of all of your teeth and oral tissues, noting any areas of concern. Our staff also examines your gums to see how healthy they are.
Every dental checkup includes a comprehensive examination because many other factors might have a substantial impact on your oral health:
Your dentist will devise a treatment plan based on the examination results. A dental filling, for example, could be used to treat a cavity.
Dental Cleanings
While brushing and flossing can help avoid many mouth diseases, some nooks and crannies are challenging to reach without the use of specific tools. Plaque and tartar removal is critical for preventative dental care. Plaque accumulates over time and may only be removed by a dental hygienist.
Your Livermore dental hygienist can use specialized dental devices to reach places that your toothbrush and floss can't. When it comes to removing plaque and other cavity-causing debris, these devices are fantastic.
Our team will suggest a treatment plan to alleviate any oral infections if gum disease is discovered. To keep your gum disease under control, we may recommend more regular dental cleanings and exams.
Our highly trained dental hygienists or dentists are always delighted to answer inquiries about oral care, including at-home recommendations. We wish to educate our patients about oral health and provide them with knowledge and resources to help them succeed.
Routine dental checkups and exams are the first steps toward having healthy teeth. Call us today to book your next dental checkup, even if it's been a while since your last teeth cleaning.
