Most dentists suggest scheduling routine checkups every six months. This will ensure that any small dental issues are caught before they become bigger, more costly problems. Regular visits will also help you avoid common problems like cavities and periodontal disease. Call us today to schedule your next appointment!

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, children should begin seeing a dentist at 12 months or when their first tooth erupts, whichever comes first. Beginning routine dental appointments at a young age will help get your child used to the process of visiting the dentist, and it will also minimize the risk that they will develop dental anxiety later in life.

This is one of the most common dental health issues, affecting nearly half of American adults. Periodontal disease (gum disease) occurs when bacteria builds up on the teeth and gums, and causes an infection, inflammation, and swelling. Once gum disease progresses past the first stage, known as gingivitis, it is often irreversible. If you suspect that you may have gum disease, schedule an appointment right away for periodontal care.
