You won’t have to travel far to see your dentist or keep scheduled appointments, which will help you keep your smile healthy over the long haul.
How often should I see my dentist?

What happens during a routine dental checkup?
We’ll examine your teeth and gums for signs of abnormalities. Catching problems early can save you the trouble and expense of lengthy treatments in the future. Once a year, we’ll take X-rays to detect hidden dental issues. Afterward, we’ll clean and polish your teeth to leave them plaque and tartar-free. Your checkup will also include an oral cancer screening to detect early warning signs of this life-threatening disease.
When is it necessary to see an emergency dentist?
Dental trauma or unforeseen accidents can lead to situations like damaged teeth, lacerations in your mouth or a knocked-out tooth that require immediate attention. These situations warrant emergency dental care. By contacting us right away, we can take measures to ease your pain and provide the appropriate treatment to help preserve your teeth and smile.
