CHECKUP

Visiting the dentist routinely is ideal for keeping good oral hygiene and catch potential issues early on. Finding dental issues before they get of out hand is the best way to avoid pain from both your mouth and wallet.

We recommend dental checkups at least once or twice a year. Keep in mind these recommendations change with circumstances like age, health conditions, and overall health of your gums.

Things to expect during a dental checkup:

How Do I Keep Good Oral Hygiene?

Follow these easy steps:

• Brush your teeth twice a day (after breakfast and before bedtime)
