October is Dental Hygiene Month! This coincides perfectly with Halloween treats and remembering to schedule your next routine teeth cleaning and exam before the madness of the holiday season descends upon us.
It's also a great time to schedule your appointment to maximize any remaining dental insurance benefits you need to use before the end of the year.
Why Are Routine Teeth Cleanings in Langhorne, PA, So Important?
Keeping up with your biannual dental visits protects not only your smile but also your overall well-being. With so many connections between gum disease and other health concerns like diabetes, heart disease, and dementia, it's never been more critical to look out for your smile.
When Dr. Desai spots problems like tooth decay or gum disease early, it's much easier for you to treat them with less costly, less invasive procedures. This is why routine exams every six months protect your smile.
What to Expect During Your Preventive Teeth Cleaning and Exam
During your routine exam, Dr. Desai will screen you for common dental problems, such as decay, cavities, and gum disease. He will also check the health of any current restorations, such as fillings, crowns, bridges, or dental implants, to ensure there is no wear or breakdown that could become problematic in the future. This is a great time to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about procedures with Dr. Desai.
During your teeth cleaning with your hygienist, we'll remove any remaining plaque buildup you might've missed at home. Plaque and bacterial buildup contribute to everyday concerns like cavities and gum disease. Your hygienist is an excellent resource for learning about products and techniques that could improve your home care routine. So, bring your questions!
