Your teeth are the stars of your oral health show, but they cannot do it all alone. They need the help of some surrounding tissue in order to stay strong, functional, and beautiful, which means that if you’re not taking the time to care for your gums, you’re putting your entire smile at risk. And one of the most important steps you can take to ensure that you’re staying on the right track is by sticking to your schedule of checkups, so work to uplift your gum health with a cleaning and examination.

How Long Has It Been Since Your Last Checkup?
If you’re struggling to remember the date of your last appointment, then it might be a sign that you’re ready to come back to the dentist. For most people, the goal is to receive a cleaning and examination twice a year, so if it’s been longer than six months, then you are due. Make the effort and come in for your checkups; they really do play a powerful role in your oral health maintenance.
While you’re at the office, your dentist will take a look at your smile to see where you could use some assistance. This is your opportunity to fight back against common dental conditions, and it’s also your chance to learn a little more about your smile. So, when you need an appointment, recognize that this is not something to avoid, but it’s a vital part of your smile journey.
Take Steps To Uplift Your Gum Health
At your next visit, if your dentist tells you that your gums could use some strengthening, listen to them. Periodontal disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country, meaning that there are real repercussions to avoiding your oral health needs. Ignoring your gum health puts you at real risk; we can help you to work to improve your smile through periodontal services, which aim to keep your smile free of plaque and tartar even below the gumline.
