Your smile takes some work to stay healthy. It requires twice-daily brushing, for a full two minutes each time; your flossing is a huge part of your oral health maintenance, as well. So, if you start to notice some redness or swelling along your gumline, it’s a sign to talk to your dentist. Because a cleaner smile is a safer smile, and bacteria are always trying to cause trouble.
When you’re ready for a fresher set of teeth, talk to Dr. Fleshner, D.D.S., in Audubon, IA. Our office is built to help people just like you find their way back to consistent oral health treatment, and we understand the value of a human connection. Your biannual checkups are there to help you fight back against bacterial buildup that causes tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more. So, if it has been longer than six months since your last visit to the dentist, let’s make a plan to change that.
Find your way back to a positive schedule of prevention. Schedule your next checkup with Dr. Fleshner at The Audubon Dental Center.
When Was Your Last Checkup?
If you are having a hard time trying to figure that out, then it’s probably time for your next one. Most people need to see the dentist once every six months, giving them the chance to check in with a qualified oral health professional twice each year. These visits include both a thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth and a visual examination from your dentist, alongside any imagery that you may need.
When you wait to schedule your biannual checkups, it puts you at risk. Bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar can start to pose real smile problems, including tooth decay, periodontal disease, and more. So, if it’s been a while, don’t let yourself continue to fall behind.
Making Plans To Improve Your Gum Health
Your teeth can’t do it alone, either. In order to stay upright, they need the support of some surrounding tissue, chiefly your gums and bone. And if you don’t keep up with your brushing and flossing, then you could start to notice some real gum problems.
Periodontal disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss in this country. It’s important to address your red or swollen gums soon after you notice them. At your next checkup, we’ll take detailed measurements of your periodontal tissue to see where you’re at.
