Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
Dr. Geer recommends that patients of all ages attend at least two preventative care appointments each year, or once every six months. These important visits allow our team to fully understand the state of you and your loved one’s oral health at any given point. We’ll identify areas of damage or decay as early as possible so that treatment can be quick and effective. In-depth cleanings will freshen up your family’s smiles, washing away any dangerous plaque and tartar for a polished look and healthy teeth. Cavities and gum disease better watch out with your Tomball dentist on the case!
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
When we say we’ll “thoroughly examine your mouth”, what we mean is that we’re looking for early warning signs of unpleasant or hazardous dental conditions, such as gum disease, tooth decay, oral cancer, bite misalignment, teeth grinding, and more. If you have existing dental work such as crowns or fillings, we’ll also inspect those to ensure they’re in tip-top shape. Depending on the situation, we might take an X-ray of your mouth to double-check your jawbone and dental roots. To wrap up, we’ll go over your results with you and answer any questions you might have.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
For optimal oral health, it’s best to brush at home twice daily and floss once per day. We’ll brush and floss your pearly whites, too, but with special, professional-grade equipment that allows us to remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup. With these substances out of the way, your teeth will be freer to shine and stay healthy. After we literally polish your teeth for that satisfying, beautiful post-appointment sheen, we can offer personalized advice for your at-home hygiene routine. That includes tips for managing your kids’ habits, too!
