Prevention vs Intervention
Oral prophylaxis
Regular dental check-ups play a critical role in maintaining good oral health, as well as overall health. Early detection of dental problems can prevent them from progressing into more serious issues, which can lead to more extensive and costly treatment down the road.
Additionally, poor oral health has been linked to several systemic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke, making regular dental check-ups even more important for those with pre-existing medical conditions.
We are committed to providing comprehensive dental check-ups to help our patients maintain optimal oral and overall health.
Prevention is more cost-effective than intervention.
Regular dental check-ups play a crucial role in preventing tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
By catching these issues early, they can be treated before they become more severe and require costly treatment.
Additionally, regular visits to the dentist provide an opportunity to discuss any dental concerns you may have and receive personalized recommendations for maintaining good oral hygiene.
So, don’t wait until it’s too late, schedule your regular check-ups today!

How often should i visit my dentist?
According to the American Dental Association, bi-annual professional cleanings are crucial for preventing tooth decay and gum disease, but those with severe periodontal disease should visit the dentist every three to four months.
Patients with orthodontic appliances are also recommended to have more frequent cleanings.
Although professional cleaning is necessary for all ages, daily oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing should still be done.
Regular visits to your dentist can help maintain good oral health and identify any potential problems early on.
