The Reasons Why Six Month Checkups Are Vital

Posted .

If you want a strong and successful oral health, it’s important to keep up on your six month checkups. Your dental cleanings and exams make it possible to reach your oral health goals, and our High Desert Dental team strongly encourages you to avoid missing or delaying the appointment.

There are many reasons why dental cleanings and exams are vital, and three of those reasons are:

Reason No. 1: Your dental checkup involves a cleaning treatment that safely and effectively removes the plaque and tartar from your smile. This is vital because if those harmful particles don’t get removed, there is a high chance you could suffer from tooth decay and gum disease.

Reason No. 2: The examination involved is extremely beneficial because it helps you keep your smile in tip-top shape. The examination will involve taking a few X-rays and will also involve your dentist visually examining your entire oral cavity. This is a great chance to see if you have any dental issues. If you do, your dentist will discuss your treatment options with you so you can get them taken care of.

Reason No. 3: The fluoride treatment provided is very helpful. It strengthens and nourishes your teeth and gives them the ability to fight bacteria and harmful particles.
