If you are due for your next dental checkup and cleaning, remember that this is key to maintaining your periodontal health. When you wait or skip cleanings, you allow plaque and tartar to build up and you can even overlook existing gingivitis that’s treatable (if you find it right away).
Good, you’re getting the hang of how to protect your smile! It’s twice-a-year dental checkups and cleanings. If you’ve made it through 2019 having managed to see us every six months for your preventive care visit, we remind you that this is something you should keep up in 2020 and beyond. When you’re committed to seeing us twice annually, you provide yourself with comprehensive protection for all of your oral tissues (gums, teeth, and more included)!
Following through with the professional aspect of your oral health protection is extremely important for your dental health and your periodontal health. However, it’s not the full picture. Complete prevention means you’re also following a dedicated daily routine at home, as well. It’s just as easy as we have promised:

Check in with our team the next time we see you for your checkup and we will be pleased to guide you through all important details!
