With our team of advanced dental prevention experts in North Hollywood, CA, you can keep the focus on your oral health by sticking to your schedule of routine cleanings and examinations. These visits are a vital part of your smile maintenance, and it is important to remember that your brushing and flossing is not enough to keep you fully safe. You need the assistance of a trained oral health professional in helping you avoid the buildup of problem plaque and tartar. When it has been a while since your last checkup, talk to our team and schedule your next trip!
One of the reasons that your semiannual checkups at the dentist are so important is that you have access to a trained hygienist, who can give you a fresher smile. Over time, bacterial waste can build up on the surface of your teeth and along your gumline. This starts as a biofilm known as plaque, which is what you brush off of your teeth every morning and night.
When plaque remains hidden away in areas where your toothbrush cannot reach, it turns into a harder form called tartar. At this point, you can no longer safely remove it on your own, so meeting with an oral health provider is a must!
Along with your thorough cleaning, you will also have the opportunity to meet with your dentist to discuss any changes that are happening with your health. By keeping to your timeline of appointments, you give your provider a more consistent look into mouth. This gives them a greater knowledge of any developing concerns, such as tooth decay or periodontal disease. While you are here, be sure to talk with your dentist about ways to improve your preventive oral health maintenance!
