As we approach the end of the year, we know that you are likely busy preparing for the holiday season and planning what you want the beginning of the new year to look like. Before 2024 ends, don’t forget to come in for your last cleaning and examination of the year. These checkups are an essential part of maintaining your oral health, as they can help detect problems early and keep your smile healthy. Today, your team at Central Park Dentistry in Charles City, IA, is here to remind you to come in for your final checkup of the year!
What’s Included In Your Checkup?
It’s recommended that you visit your dentist every six months for a checkup. These preventive visits include a professional cleaning and examination, which can help avoid common problems such as cavities, gingivitis, and more. When you come in for your appointment, a hygienist will carefully clean your teeth and remove plaque buildup from the surface. After this, your dentist will examine your smile to look for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and changes to your smile. Consistent checkups can help spot many of these common problems early on, so they can be treated before they become a more serious issue.
You Can Bring In Your Whole Family
We offer care for patients of all ages, including children and older adults. You can schedule appointments for your whole family on the same day so that the visits fit better with your busy life. You can start taking your kids to the dentist around the age of three. Their visit will be similar to your own, including a cleaning and examination. Our team offers a caring approach to pediatric dentistry so that your little ones feel comfortable during their appointment. Since little smiles can often be more prone to cavities, additional treatments such as fluoride and sealants may be offered to better protect their teeth from decay.
Plan Restorations As Soon As Possible
During your examination, your dentist will examine your smile and may take X-rays of your oral cavity to get a closer look at your teeth and surrounding structures. If they notice any signs of decay and other problems, they will recommend that you come in for a restoration as soon as possible to avoid further problems. For example, if they spot a cavity, a dental filling can be scheduled to stop the decay and protect your tooth. Fillings are a simple and minimally invasive procedure that can prevent the need for a root canal in the future.
