Your smile takes dedication to keep at a consistent quality, and if it’s been a while since your last biannual dental checkup, then you’re ready to come in for your next one. Most people need these visits every six months to fight back against common oral health issues like tooth decay and periodontal disease. Your appointments are there to provide you with a cleaning of the surface of your teeth, a detailed examination of your mouth, and an opportunity to open up a one-on-one with a trusted dental professional.
When you come see Dr. Fleshner, D.D.S., in Audubon, IA, you’ve got a dentist who really wants to see you find smile success. We understand the importance of keeping up with your oral health maintenance through at-home care of brushing and flossing, and we also know that you can’t do it all on your own. So, when it’s been a bit since your last biannual dental checkups, spend a few minutes with a local team to talk about your next steps.
A quality smile takes work, so don’t put off your checkups. Schedule your next visit at the Audubon Dental Center.
Keeping A Cleaner Smile Helps You Stay Safe
One of the biggest risks for a smile is bacterial buildup. This happens every single day, and that’s why you need to brush your teeth twice each day for a full two minutes each time. The form of bacterial biofilm that you remove with your brushing and flossing is called plaque, and it’s important to remove it while you still can.
You see, when plaque remains on the surface of your teeth for a few days, it calcifies into a harder form called calculus or tartar. At this point, you need the help of a trusted dental hygienist to remove it for you; it’s too tough to do on your own.
Talk To Your Dentist About Your Direction
At your next biannual dental checkup, take a minute to speak with your dentist about your goals. We’re here to help you find a way to a smile you love, whether that means restoration, cosmetic improvement, or something else. We could all use a refresher on brushing and flossing, too!
So, when you find that it’s been longer than six months since your last biannual dental checkup, come see our team. We’re proud to help the people of Audubon and surrounding cities to reach a stronger smile.
