No question about it—the school year is busy. But during the summer, the pace slows and there’s more time for fun and relaxation. There’s also more time to schedule those all-important dental checkups for you and your family. Dr. Erica Revel and Dr. Kimber Holmes at Pasadena Family Dentistry in Pasadena, TX, are dedicated to providing each member of your family with the oral health care they need. If you’re looking for the family dentist Pasadena trusts, then look no further than Pasadena’s own. We’d love to add your family to our family!
We may be professional dentists, but the truth is you are your family’s first dentist. The cliché “monkey see, monkey do,” has probably never been more applicable than when teaching your children to brush and floss their teeth. If your kids see you taking care of your teeth and gums every day, then they are more likely to do the same. In fact, daily brushing and flossing could be a new family activity to begin over the summer.
Pasadena Family Dentistry and You
In addition to your home hygiene routine, regular dental checkups are critical to your family’s oral health. At a checkup, we’ll clean your teeth, appraise the health of your gums, examine for tooth decay and take x-rays when necessary to reveal any signs of decay or infection that might be hiding in spots not visible to the eye. In keeping with the recommendation of the American Dental Association, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Revel would like to see you and every member of your family twice each year for these checkups. With this regularity, we can more easily monitor for changes in your dental condition that may warrant treatment.
Beyond these regular dental checkups, family dentistry at Pasadena Family Dentistry includes other services that are important to your oral and general health. Gum disease therapy, for example, helps to arrest this infection of the gums and bone that support your teeth. Not only can the bacteria that cause gum disease spread in your mouth, they can also migrate to other bodily organs and systems, thereby causing overall health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, low birth weight and even dementia.
