Dental Checkups
The American Dental Association recommends that individuals have a dental exam and cleaning every six months. Doing so prevents dental problems before they become severe and identify underlying issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. Additionally, a visual and physical oral cancer screening detects early signs of oral cancer, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your oral health is being taken care of.
Dental Checkups
Fillings and Sealants
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities, cracks or wear, restoring both function and appearance while preventing further decay. Fillings stop decay from spreading and strengthen the tooth, allowing for normal chewing and comfort. With proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, fillings can last for many years, helping to maintain a healthy, natural smile.
