Preserve Your Smile by Getting Regular Checkups

Gum disease is an infection that can cause bleeding and, without treatment, can lead to tooth loss. With good care and regular dental cleanings, gum disease can be prevented. If you already have gum disease or are developing it, your trusted dentists can treat it for you.
We can provide effective periodontal care to help protect your gums, the bone beneath them, and your overall oral health. We offer two nonsurgical gum disease treatments:
- Scaling and Root Planing – This deep cleaning allows your dentist to clear out the pockets of infection beneath your gums and around the roots of your teeth. They’ll also leave your roots nice and smooth to discourage bacteria growth and promote gum reattachment.
- Perio Protect® – This antibiotic uses trays to deliver bacteria-fighting medication beneath your gums to places you can’t reach with your toothbrush or floss. Your dentist will tailor a treatment plan to your needs.

Your exams are a great time to discuss your home oral hygiene, diet, and other factors that affect your dental health. Our dentists are happy to answer any questions you have. They may suggest dietary changes or recommend products that can address problems like dry mouth or halitosis (bad breath).

Common Questions About Dental Exams
For most of our patients, a dental exam takes less than an hour. We may take X-rays if you haven’t had any in a while, and we’ll perform a complete dental exam. Typically, we schedule dental exams with cleanings, so the total time may be around one hour or a little longer, especially if you are a new patient.
In general, we recommend that a patient come in every six months for a dental exam. Routine exams allow us the chance to keep an eye on your oral health and provide early treatment for any problems we spot. You may need to visit us more often if you’re susceptible to gum disease.
Your regular exams are designed to uncover any dental problems you may have. We may take a set of X-rays, then your hygienist will look over your teeth and gums, noting any problem areas. Your dentist will then do a complete exam, double checking anything that looks out of the ordinary, and recommend any needed treatment.
