The Importance of Regular Dental Visits

When did you last visit the dentist? At Lavaca Dental, we understand that going to the dentist is not everyone’s favorite thing to do. That is why our office is so comfortable and all our dentists and other employees are so friendly. The truth is, your oral health is incredibly important, and you cannot afford to avoid dental appointments. The only way to ensure your dental health is by coming in to see our specialists.

In this blog, we will outline the main reasons you should give us a call.

At the end of the day, regular dental visits are important because they keep your teeth and gums healthy.

  • You should visit us every six months.
  • When you do, one of our dentists will examine your teeth for cavities, plaque, and tartar.
  • Remember tartar is plaque that has hardened and cannot be removed by brushing or flossing.

After your teeth are examined, your gums will be checked.

  • The space between your teeth and gums will be measured, because when you get gum disease, these spaces get deeper.
  • Your tongue, throat, and neck will be checked as well.

After the checkup, your teeth will be carefully flossed and clean. This allows you to walk out of our office with a fresh start! Keep your teeth healthy between visits by brushing at least twice a day and flossing once a day.
