Visiting the dentist every 6 months for regular checkups and cleanings is an important part of preventative care. Unfortunately, too many people put off going to the dentist until after a problem has developed. As a result, more extensive treatment is usually needed, driving up the cost of care. Not to mention, the damage may have become too severe and saving the tooth may not be possible. Thankfully, with a dental checkup exam every 6 months, we are able to find and address problems while they are small to prevent complications from occurring to maintain your oral health for a beautiful smile.
